A magnitude 3.9 earthquake was registered 5 km to the southern Armenian city of Kapan on Tuesday, February 28, at 10:17am local time (0617 GMT).

The earthquake was about 10 kilometers deep and was felt in Kapan, as well as the towns of Kajaran and Goris.

A magnitude 3.3 aftershock followed the quake some time later.
