Four minor quakes hit Ranau in a single day

The Malaysian Meteorological Department recorded four mild earthquakes in and around Ranau yesterday, including one measuring 4.3 on the Richter scale.

The first tremor hit the town at 10.54am, forcing a school to close its library after parts of its ceiling collapsed, while the other three — measuring 4.3, 2.6 and 3.0 — happened in the evening, the department revealed over consistent updates on its Facebook page.

Since June 5 — when a magnitude 5.9 earthquake rattled several parts of Sabah, killing 18 people — the state has experienced consistent aftershocks.
