The 2008 Chechnya earthquake occurred October 11 at 09:06:10 UTC in Chechnya, Russia, with a Mwc magnitude of 5.8. At least 13 people from the districts of Gudermes, Shalinsky and Kurchaloyevsky were killed.[3][4] The mainshock and a series of aftershocks were felt throughout the North Caucasus, and even in Armenia and Georgia. About 116 people were injured.[citation needed]
Dagestan, Ingushetia, North Ossetia and Stavropol also experienced the tremors,[3] with a total of 16 shocks between 3 and 6 on the Richter magnitude scale.[citation needed] Some tremors lasted up to 30 seconds, causing serious structural damage in two Chechen districts, and left 52,000 people without power in three districts.[3] Communications and roads in Chechnya were also disrupted.[5]
Five-hundred families in the heavily affected town of Kurchaloy needed tent shelters, and the local hospital in that town was evacuated.[6] There was only minimal damage in the Chechnya capital of Grozny, consisting mostly of broken windows.[6]
Ramzan Kadyrov, the President of Chechnya said, "We have received information on damage from various districts... each and every will receive the necessary help and support."[7]
A magnitude 5.3 aftershock struck the region approximately 16 minutes after the initial quake.[8]
