VIETNAM – A quake measuring 4.1 on the Richter scale broke out Friday on the Vietnam-Laos border, in an area near Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces in Central Vietnam. The quake, which was located at 18.65 degrees north latitude and 104.81 degrees west longitude, occurred at 4:40:20 p.m. Hanoi time, said the Earthquake Information and Tsunami Warning Center under the Global Physic Institute. The quake, with its epicenter being 10 km underground in the Lao territory, came from the Rao Nay fault that runs from northwest to southeast from Laos to Ha Tinh, the center said.
