Early morning earthquake hits Oman’s Madha region near UAE border following series of minor tremors

A 2.2-magnitude earthquake struck Oman’s Madha exclave at 5:13am on Thursday, with no impact or tremors felt. The event follows recent minor quakes in Khor Fakkan and Al Sila, highlighting a rise in regional seismic activity. Though rare in the UAE and Oman, such low-magnitude tremors, often linked to distant quakes, are increasingly being monitored by authorities.
