A magnitude 4 earthquake struck the Meknès province this Saturday, May 9. This event is part of a series of recent seismic movements felt across northern Moroccan territory.

A slight earthquake hit the northern coast of Morocco on Tuesday evening. Its epicenter, located off the coast of Tetouan, caused widespread tremors, reaching the capital and its surrounding regions.

A magnitude 4 earthquake was recorded on Friday at 5:13 pm in the province of Sidi Kacem. The epicenter is located in the commune of Sidi Ahmed Benaissa at a depth of 33 kilometers, reports the National Institute of Geophysics.

The earth shook on Thursday evening off the Moroccan coast. A seismic shock of a magnitude of 4.0 on the Richter scale was recorded in the Alboran Sea, according to data provided by the National Institute of Geophysics (ING).

The earth shook in the Meknes region. Two tremors were recorded within a few hours: a first, quite marked, on Wednesday just before midnight, followed by a lighter aftershock this Thursday morning. While the incident caused no damage, it is part of a closely monitored geological dynamic.

An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 shook the province of Ouezzane, in northwestern Morocco, on Monday evening.

An earthquake shook certain areas of the Béni Mellal-Khénifra region, more precisely in Béni Oukil, between the towns of Fquih Ben Salah and Khouribga, on Saturday. Nasser Jabbour, director of the National Institute of Geophysics (INGP), in charge of seismic monitoring in Morocco, claims that this earthquake is caused by the extraction of phosphates.

Morocco has again suffered a slight earthquake this Monday, May 6. With a magnitude of 2.2 on the Richter scale, the tremor was felt 61 kilometers east of the city of Ouezzane, in the north of the kingdom.

Morocco was shaken by the "most violent earthquake in a century," said Nasser Jabour, an official at the National Institute of Geophysics.

The Moroccan Ministry of the Interior has published a provisional toll of 296 deaths and 153 injured following an earthquake of magnitude 7 on the Richter scale that hit a large part of the country on Friday evening.

Less than a week after the slight earthquake recorded in Agadir , the residents had another seismic shock on Sunday with a magnitude of 3.3 on the Richter scale, according to the National Institute of Geophysics (ING).

The Agadir region recorded a seismic shock of magnitude 4.5 on the Richter scale this Monday morning, according to the National Institute of Geophysics (ING).
