The 1966 Toro earthquake, or the 1966 Ruwenzori earthquake, occurred on March 20, 1966, at 01:42 UTC (04:42 Uganda local time)〔 lasting 3–5 minutes. The earthquake was located near the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), to the south of Lake Albert. Some sources put the epicenter in Uganda while some put it in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.〔 The earthquake had a magnitude of Mw 6.8 and a maximum perceived intensity of VIII (''Severe'') on the Mercalli intensity scale.〔 ==Tectonic setting== The earthquake occurred in the Mt Rwenzori region, which lies within the Western Rift Valley of the East Africa Rift System, between Lake Edward and Lake Albert. The Mt. Ruwenzori region is the most seismically active region in Uganda and also one of the most seismically active zones in the East Africa Rift System and is bounded by steep active normal faults.〔"The seismicity and tectonics of Uganda" by N. Maasha〕 The calculated focal mechanism for the earthquake was normal faulting in type,〔〕 although the focal mechanisms of three of the aftershocks were dominantly strike-slip in type.
