Circulating video on Fajr earthquake verified
Videos circulated on social media claiming to document an earthquake in Egypt on the early morning of August 3, 2026. However, the fact-checking team confirmed that the footage actually dates back to an earthquake in China in 2022, with a magnitude of 6.9 in Qinghai Province. Egypt experienced a seismic tremor measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale on the same day at 3:00 PM, located approximately 38 kilometers from Suez. The National Institute for Astronomical Research clarified that the earthquake resulted from the movement of an active fault in the region. Its strength depends on the length of the moving segment of the fault, and it was not a major quake, but rather a limited one.
