Monitoring of the seismicity in the region of LSN Provadia

The Provadia region is located in seismically quite part of the Bulgaria – since the beginning of the last century no strong or moderate seismicity is reported, there also no historical evidences of strong earthquakes. Short after the beginning of exploration of the Mirovo salt dome several moderate earthquakes with magnitude greater than 4.0 were occurred in this region and caused damages to the neighboring villages. To improve the monitoring of the seismicity in the region a local seismological network was deployed in 1993.
