France: 4.1-Magnitude Earthquake Shakes French Riviera

A 4.1-magnitude earthquake struck the French Riviera on Tuesday, March 18, around 6:45 PM, impacting cities such as Nice, Cannes, Coaraze, and Contes. According to the French Central Seismological Bureau (BCSF Renass), the tremor surprised many residents but caused no casualties or major damage.

Many locals reported feeling vibrations as far as Cannes, prompting a surge in calls to firefighters, though no injuries or structural damage were recorded.

In response, Civil Protection issued safety guidelines, advising people to stay away from fragile buildings, avoid coastal areas in case of aftershocks, and limit phone calls to keep networks clear for emergency services.
