Earthquakes kill hundreds of cattle in Ethiopia
A series of earthquakes have killed hundreds of cattle and spewed a thick layer of ash that prevents the nomadic cattle-herding locals from feeding their livestock, forcing authorities to evacuate a remote region of Ethiopia.
Seismologists have monitored earthquakes and eruptions in the Afar region since September 18. A tremor measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale struck on September 24, triggering an eruption of the previously dormant Mount Arteale.
