An earthquake hits France, with destruction and damage

Homes, schools and churches were destroyed, and hundreds of buildings were declared uninhabitable.

An earthquake of magnitude 5.8 occurred on Saturday, June 17, in western France. As a result, houses were destroyed, people were injured, reports the BBC.

It is known that tremors were felt from the city of Rennes in the northwest to Bordeaux in the southwest.

Homes, schools and churches were destroyed in the earthquake, and hundreds of buildings were deemed uninhabitable. It is also known about the two wounded in the city of De Sèvres.

The Charente-Maritime region north of Bordeaux was particularly affected. About 170 people were evacuated from the municipality of La Len. A local official said most houses in the city center were affected.

Home Secretary Gerald Darmanin said the government will launch a fast-track process to assess structural damage to buildings.

Recall that in late May, an earthquake of magnitude 6.2 occurred off the coast of New Zealand.

Before that, an earthquake with a magnitude of 2.7 occurred in the Poltava region.
