🌋 Two earthquakes occurred on the border of Armenia and Georgia, the first with a magnitude of 4.8 and a second shock at 4.2.
The surrounding areas were visibly shaken. The epicenter, already traditionally, was in the village of Sameba. The tremors reached Tbilisi as well.
😄 However, most of the residents did not feel anything. Simply because they were asleep. Morning in Georgia does not start so early.
❗️Upd. At 9.10 there was a second push.

🔥👩🏼⚕️16-year-old schoolgirl hospitalized in Georgia after tanning with fig leaves.
The girl has third-degree chemical burns and is in the hospital. The reason was the use of a decoction of fig leaves. This is a well-known folk remedy for getting a "supposedly" beautiful tan.

🌋 Seismologists do not rule out that earthquakes in Georgia may happen again in the coming months.
The Javakheti Plateau, according to their analysis, has always been considered one of the active seismic centers in the region. In the last year there have been several thousand earthquakes. Scientists believe that seismic activity in the region is not a cause for concern:
"Observation shows that earthquakes of medium strength occur here and there, but no need to worry," said Tsikanashvili, an expert at the National Seismic Monitoring Center.
❗️Over the past 24 hours, 50 earthquakes have already occurred in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region (100 km from Tbilisi), one of which is 4.8 points.
ℹ️ The most powerful earthquake recorded in Georgia, with a magnitude of 7.0, occurred in 1991 in the regions of Racha and Imereti. Then 200 people died.

🛢 A gas field with a volume of about 16 billion cubic meters was discovered in Georgia (the country consumes 2.5 billion cubic meters per year)
This was stated by the head of the State Oil and Gas Agency Giorgi Tatishvili.
According to him, gas reserves have been confirmed at a Schlumberger well near Tbilisi. The operator of the license for exploration and production of oil and gas in this area is the London-based company Block energy.
ℹ️ The license area requires horizontal drilling and its reserves may last Georgia for 6-8 years.

📈🥘The Georgian restaurant business is forced to raise prices by 30%.
“The cost of dishes practically nowhere else starts from 10 lari, the price tag on the menu costs from 20 lari and more. Visiting tourists, especially those who have been to Georgia before, are surprised by the anomalous rise in prices. But otherwise we won't survive,” said restaurateur Meriko Gubeladze.
“Flour cost 47 lari a bag, and now it costs 120. The same can be said about sugar, butter – the list is huge. This is a catastrophe. Local products that are produced in Georgia, and prices for them are growing at such a pace that we, restaurants, cannot keep up with the rise in prices,” said Kote Gabrichidze, President of the Association of Restaurateurs of Georgia.
❗️Rising energy prices: since July 1, gas for legal entities has increased by 20%. In June, prices in Georgia rose by 12.8%, the sharpest increase was recorded for food - 21.8%.

🇬🇪🇪🇺 The European Commission will consider granting Georgia the status of an EU candidate country no earlier than 2023.

The agency will prepare a report on how the 12 priorities assigned to Georgia will be fulfilled only in 2023.
The opposition has already issued a joint statement and asks the president to convene an extraordinary parliamentary session.
