A minor earthquake was recorded in the UAE on Tuesday evening, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has confirmed.
The tremor occurred in Khor Fakkan at 8.35pm and was registered at a shallow depth of 2 kilometres. While the quake was slightly felt by some residents in the area, authorities have reassured the public that it had no impact on the country.
The NCM's National Seismic Network continues to monitor seismic activity across the country. The UAE is not located in a major seismic zone, so tremors of this nature are rare and typically pose no threat.
