On Thursday, seismic monitoring stations of the National Seismic Network at the Geological Hazards Center in Saudi Arabia recorded an earthquake in the central Red Sea. The official spokesman for the Saudi Geological Survey, Tariq Aba Al-Khail, stated that the earthquake measured 4.40 on the Richter scale, with a depth of 32 kilometers. The cause of this earthquake is attributed to the fault present in the Red Sea, which represents the western boundary of the Arabian Plate and its divergence from the African Plate. Aba Al-Khail confirmed that "the Saudi borders were not affected by this earthquake, and no impacts were recorded during the tremor."
