The lands of Lower Kartalinia are shuddering again

Over the past month, over a thousand cases of seismic activity were recorded on the territory of the state near the Javakheti Ridge. Experts explain such seismic activity by the volcanic origin of the local terrain. Magmatic activity is recorded in the surrounding area, as there are extinct volcanoes there. The head of the National Seismic Monitoring Center asks the population not to worry, as specialists constantly monitor natural processes, study and subject them to the necessary analysis.
