  "summary": "A magnitude 5 earthquake struck Granada in the early hours of Saturday morning, causing damage to buildings and vehicles. The quake occurred shortly after 1am on August 15, with its epicentre close to Alhendín, in the Granada metropolitan area, at a shallow depth of around two kilometres.\n\nThe earthquake was strongly felt beyond Granada province, particularly in neighbouring Malaga, including Malaga city. Images showed rubble and debris scattered across streets in Granada, with some parked vehicles also damaged. According to The Local Spain, the earthquake damaged buildings in the southern city.\n\nThe Andalusian regional government activated the emergency phase of its earthquake response plan at operational level 1 during the night as authorities assessed the damage. Regional president Juanma Moreno urged residents to remain calm while warning of the continuing danger, as reported by Spain in English. Over 80 calls were made to Andalucía’s 112 emergency service following the tremor.",
