Another minor earthquake hits Switzerland

A magnitude 3.8 earthquake has struck near the Diablerets in Vaud this morning, felt across a wide area of the Alps

The tremor hit at 10.45am yesterday, seven kilometres south of the resort, according to the Swiss Seismological Service.

No damage is expected at this magnitude.

The same region was shaken by a smaller quake of magnitude 2.7 just two days ago.

Switzerland records between 1,000 and 1,500 earthquakes a year, but only 10 to 20 are felt by the public.
