A powerful earthquake, 5.9 in magnitude, shook southern Iran on Tuesday morning. The tremor struck the country’s south-west at a depth of 10km and was recorded at 9:06am UAE time, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) confirmed.
The NCM reported that the Iran earthquake had no effect in the UAE. Some residents in the northern regions said they felt slight tremors, but authorities confirmed there were no damages or disruptions.
Experts at the NCM’s National Seismic Network quickly detected and tracked the seismic activity. Emergency teams in Iran have not reported any casualties or serious structural damage as of now.
Southern Iran, located near active tectonic fault lines, frequently experiences seismic events. Similar quakes have struck the region in recent years, fueling concerns about public safety and infrastructure durability.
Although the UAE did not feel any impact, regional monitoring teams remain vigilant. Authorities urge residents to follow official updates.
Recent Iran earthquake highlights the ongoing geological activity in the region and reinforces the need for cross-border preparedness and cooperation.
