42 Earthquakes in One Day Rattle the Adriatic Sea

Spike in seismic activity raises questions over regional preparedness

On July 30, the Adriatic Sea experienced an unusual spike in seismic activity: 42 earthquakes in just 24 hours, with the strongest reaching a magnitude of 3.7. 

While all were minor and no damage was reported, the sudden cluster has caught the attention of geologists and civil protection services. 

The Adriatic lies along the active boundary between the African and Eurasian tectonic plates, making it prone to low-to-moderate quakes. But such a concentrated burst suggests accumulating tension in the fault system. 

The incident has reignited concerns over infrastructure resilience in coastal areas and raised questions about whether seismic risk is being taken seriously enough in urban planning and regional cooperation on disaster response.
