    The hypocenter of the earthquake was at the depth of 5 km. The
    intensity of the earthquake reached 3-4 at the epicenter. The quake
    was felt in Yerevan and nearby settlements.

    information is groundless. The current seismic situation in the
    republic is being controlled by the NSSP, there are no grounds
