Serious Disturbance Threatening the Region: Second Earthquake of 6.2 Magnitude off the Coast of Sur, Oman

A maritime earthquake struck the Arabian Sea today, Saturday, with a magnitude of 6.2 Richter off the coast of the Sur area in Oman. Observers monitoring and tracking earthquakes confirmed that global monitoring centers have removed today’s earthquake from their observation list for the second time, following a 6.6 magnitude quake that occurred early yesterday, Friday, at a shallow depth in the Arabian Sea. Observers questioned the reasons behind the omission of significant earthquakes from global monitoring lists. They noted that the region is expected to experience maritime tremors due to the transfer of seismic energy around the fault lines associated with the area. It was emphasized that the seismic situation is disturbed and dangerous in the region, with strong earthquakes likely to occur due to active faults in recent days. They consider the earthquakes in the Arabian Sea to be a perplexing enigma that could strike at any moment, potentially extending to the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. This comes after a maritime tremor yesterday, Friday, with a magnitude of 4.4 Richter and shallow depth affecting the Arabian Sea off the Omani coasts.
