On Wednesday evening, November 4, the UAE’s National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) detected a light earthquake measuring 2.3 on the Richter scale near the coast of Fujairah. The seismic activity was registered at 8:06 pm local time. According to the NCM’s assessment, the tremor fell between levels 2 and 3 on their intensity chart, which typically results in minor effects such as light fixtures swaying slightly, with no risk of structural damage to property.

This event follows a similar occurrence last month, when a 1.6-magnitude tremor was recorded off the coast of Dibba Al Fujairah on the evening of October 16. While these tremors are generally felt by sensitive instruments and occasionally by local residents, they remain relatively minor seismic events for the region, causing no significant impact or disruption to the area.
