The earthquake occurred at 8:03 am last Friday, said the National Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics, in a statement cited by Angop.

The Lubango and Gabela stations (in Cuanza Sul) registered the earthquake, says the note, which also adds that the earthquake – which was felt with maximum intensity III on the Modified Mercalli scale in Lubango – did not cause personal or material damage, writes Angop.

Remember that the last time the province of Huíla was 'shaken' by an earthquake happened in October 2017, in the commune of Negola. Also in January of that year, according to Angop, an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.7 on the Richter scale was felt in Lubango, Chicomba and Caluquembe (epicenter).
