Jeddah: The Saudi Geological Survey (SGS) stated that an earthquake measuring 3.38 on the Richter scale was recorded in the northwestern region of Tabuk on Sunday.

Tariq Aba Al-Khail, the spokesman of SGS, said that the stations of the National Seismic Monitoring Network at the Geological Hazards Center recorded at 10:46 pm on Sunday an earthquake measuring 3.38 on the Richter scale, a distance of 8 km northwest of Tabuk at a depth of 19.37 km.

He added that the tectonic stresses from the Gulf of Aqaba and the northern Red Sea, which led to the reactivation of some of the old faults in the region, were the sole reason for the earthquake.

He stressed that the earthquake was not a dangerous one. The spokesman also reassured that the seismic monitoring stations at SGS have not recorded any aftershocks.
