A strange earthquake in the Poltava region could have been caused by a powerful underground explosion.

An unusual earthquake occurred in the Poltava region of Ukraine, which stands out from the usual geological activity of the region. This episode raised many questions among specialists and the public, since the earthquake zone is located on a geological plate, where, in general, natural earthquakes should not occur.

This incident was reported by the Main Center for Special Control of the National System of Seismic Observations of Ukraine. The center's specialists noted that the earthquake was relatively weak, but it stands out noticeably against the background of normal seismic activity in the region. The tremors of the earthquake were recorded at 21:38 Kyiv time.

According to official data, the earthquake had a magnitude of 2,7 on the Richter scale and occurred at a depth of about 5 kilometers. The epicenter of the earthquake was registered 20 kilometers west of the city of Poltava.

This incident raised further questions about its possible nature. There is an assumption about the possibility of an underground explosion, however, there has not yet been official confirmation or refutation of such a version. Earlier, a similar earthquake occurred in the central part of Ukraine after Russian strikes and the destruction of underground weapons depots.
