On October 11, 2023, a minor earthquake with a magnitude of 1.6 was recorded in the Dibba area of the UAE, specifically in Fujairah, at a depth of 5 kilometers.
While many residents reported feeling slight tremors, there were no significant effects reported. Experts assured that UAE residents have no reason to worry about earthquakes, as the country experiences low to moderate seismic activity and is not situated on an active seismic belt.
They mentioned that there are typically two to three small tremors in a year, most of which go unfelt and are only detected by sensors, without impacting buildings or infrastructure.
