Minor earthquake hits eastern Saudi Arabia, causing no impact
Saudi Gazette report JEDDAH — A minor earthquake, with a magnitude of 3.35 point on the Richter Scale, struck eastern Saudi Arabia in the Arabian Gulf. The quake that hit approximately 85 kilometers east of Jubail at 5:12:55 p.m. on Tuesday, according to the Saudi Geological Survey (SGS). The SGS detected it through its National Seismic Network stations. SGS spokesperson Tariq Aba Al-Khail confirmed that the earthquake is considered minor and poses no threat to the Saudi border. He emphasized that the situation remains safe and under control. Tariq Mansoob, head of the detection center at SGS, said that the latest quake has no impact on Saudi Arabia. "Activity along the Arabian and Eurasian plates along the Zagros and Makran mountains in Iran and Pakistan led to the quakes. The pressure created by this activity resulted in the tremors," he said while speaking to a local television.

Three Earthquakes Strike Egypt on Sunday Evening - Jordan News
On Sunday evening, Egypt's National Seismic Network recorded three separate earthquakes in different regions across the country, including Hurghada, Matrouh, and Greater Cairo. اضافة اعلان The network reported a minor earthquake with a magnitude of 2.31 on the Richter scale northwest of Giza Governorate at 8:10 PM Cairo time. The tremor occurred at a depth of 3.17 kilometers near the Kom Al-Bira area, approximately 8 kilometers northwest of Giza city. According to the National Seismic Network, the quake was detected using 13 seismic stations, and its exact location was determined through manual analysis of seismic waves. The network confirmed that the tremor caused no damage and went unnoticed by most residents due to its low magnitude, classifying it as non-impactful. Earlier the same evening, a 3.3-magnitude earthquake was recorded in the Red Sea, 44 kilometers north of Hurghada, at a depth of 10.16 kilometers. Egypt's National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics confirmed no damage to property or loss of life, although some residents did report feeling the quake. Additionally, at 6:00 PM on Sunday, a 2.92-magnitude earthquake was registered near the island of Crete, 457 kilometers north of Matrouh, at a depth of 43.61 kilometers. Egypt is known to experience moderate seismic activity, particularly in areas near the Red Sea and the Gulf of Suez, due to its proximity to the African–Arabian fault zone (Red Sea Rift). The National Seismic Network, under the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics, continuously monitors seismic events using advanced technology to provide rapid and accurate data for risk assessment and public safety. While most earthquakes in Egypt are mild to moderate (typically under 5.0 on the Richter scale), they often draw attention—especially in coastal regions like Hurghada, a key tourist destination. The Red Sea quake, measuring 3.3 in magnitude, falls within the region's normal seismic range. Although residents felt the tremor, such minor quakes rarely cause damage, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and preparedness efforts by the relevant authorities.
