Egyptquake chief warns of aftershocks

This morning, a 5.6 magnitude earthquake struck north of Suez City, in the Bitter Lakes region. The quake was felt by residents of Cairo and several other governorates. The head of the Seismology Department at the Astronomical Research Institute explained that the earthquake was large enough to be widely felt, causing widespread concern among the public. He also mentioned that there are expectations of possible aftershocks in the coming hours, and that monitoring teams are continuously observing the situation to detect any further tremors. So far, no casualties or property damage have been reported. It is worth noting that Egypt has extensive experience in monitoring seismic activity through modern networks, despite its distance from major fault lines; however, its proximity to active regions such as the Suez Gulf and the Red Sea makes it susceptible to medium-strength earthquakes.
