Egyptians Capture Earthquake Footage
This morning, Egypt experienced an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.2 on the Richter scale that struck the northeastern area of Sharm El Sheikh. The quake caused buildings to shake and objects inside homes to move, according to residents’ accounts and video footage documenting the moment. The National Institute for Astronomical Research issued a statement confirming that the tremor occurred at 3 a.m., approximately 61 km northeast of Sharm El Sheikh, at a depth of 26 km. There were no reports of injuries or significant material damage, though seismic aftershocks are expected in the coming days. Authorities advise against using elevators, recommend disconnecting electricity and gas, and urge people to stay away from coastal areas as safety precautions during earthquakes. The region is one of the most earthquake-prone areas in Egypt, particularly along the Eastern Mediterranean, with a historical seismic record that includes major quakes in the North Coast, Damietta, and Alexandria areas.
