The Seismological Bureau yesterday confirmed earthquake hit Chumphon province Thursday but said it was a mild quake.

 

It’s confirmation came after survey by local authorities in the area revealed more houses were damaged than the initial report which said only one house was slightly damaged.

 

It said initially the earthquake could not be detected as it was mild of just 2.9 magnitude, and it’s measurement equipment could not detect it.

 

But after assessing information from other relevant government agencies such as the Department of Natural Resources and the Royal Irrigation Department,  all concluded the incident at Tambon Bang Nam Jerd of Lang Suan district on Thursday evening was a real earthquake.
