Earthquake: Brynmawr, Cardiff and South Wales Valleys feel tremors
An earthquake has shaken parts of Wales, with tremors felt for 100 miles.
The British Geological Survey (BGS) said the 3.7 magnitude quake was at 23:59 GMT on Friday and was 2.2 miles (3.6 km) under the Earth's surface.
The epicentre was north of Brynmawr, Blaenau Gwent, and west of Crickhowell, Powys, but people on Twitter reported feeling it as far away as Birmingham.
Gwent Police said it received multiple calls overnight but it was "business as usual" for the force.
BBC journalist Alex Humphreys said she felt the "mini earthquake" in Cardiff, 30 miles (50km) away.
"My whole bed shook," she tweeted. Others described it as a "scary" experience.
