DIBRA EARTHQUAKE
The 2019 Dibër earthquake occurred on May 1, 2019, with a magnitude of 5.4. The epicenter was located near the town of Peshkopi, in the Dibër region, northeastern Albania. While not as destructive as the November 26, 2019 earthquake, this tremor caused significant damage to buildings, particularly in the rural areas of Dibër.
Several homes were damaged or collapsed, and local infrastructure, such as roads, was also affected. Fortunately, there were no reported fatalities, but the earthquake left many people anxious, as aftershocks continued for days. The region had previously experienced seismic activity, and the event prompted further attention to earthquake preparedness in this seismically active area.
