This press message was released by the Government of the Mordusian Federal Republic.
To all seismologists:
A recent accident in one of our mines in the province of Hosamia has caused the accidental detonation of a great amount of digging explosives followed by a cave-in. Fortunately, no casualties occurred due to this incident.
As a consequence, we will do a staged closure of the mine to avoid further danger. In the following years, expect similar explosions in this area.
The Mordusian government thanks you for your attention and hopes that your instruments have not been affected in any way.
Signed,
the Government of the Mordusian Federal Republic
