Strong earthquake rocks Tajikistan

DUSHANBE, July 20 (Itar-Tass) -- A strong earthquake rocked residents
of several regions in Tajikistan at midnight on Wednesday. The earthquake
measured 6.2 points jolted north-eastern Tajikistan on the border with
Kyrgyzstan, a source in the Dushanbe seismological station told Itar-Tass
on Wednesday.
The tremors made many residents in the Tajik capital leave their
houses despite the nighttime. Meanwhile, no reports were made about the
damages to the republican emergencies committee.
This is already the second earthquake in the country over the past
day. The first earthquake was reported on Tuesday afternoon, but most
Dushanbe residents did not even feel it.
