Geological Survey: A 4.1-magnitude earthquake was detected east of Jubail.

The Saudi Geological Survey (SGS) announced that the National Seismic Monitoring Network's stations recorded an earthquake in the Arabian Gulf this morning at 02:39:39, with a magnitude of 4 on the Richter scale, approximately 55 km east of Jubail in the Eastern Province.

In turn, Dr. Abdullah Al-Musnad, a former professor of climate at Qassim University, explained that according to the earthquake strength classification, this tremor is considered a light earthquake, as it is clearly felt by residents. It may cause light objects to move from their places, and sometimes a sound is heard, but it does not usually cause any significant damage.

He pointed out that this type of tremor is classified as a natural seismic activity, as the world experiences approximately 6,200 earthquakes of this magnitude annually, making it a common occurrence in some seismically active regions.
