On Saturday, May 30, 2026, seismic monitoring stations recorded a minor earthquake of magnitude 2.9 on the Richter scale in northern Morocco. The epicenter was located in the area of Douar Aghbar, part of the Rouadi commune in the province of Al Hoceima.
The quake occurred at a shallow depth, typical for this seismically active region. Local authorities reported no injuries or structural damage, as the tremor was too weak to cause significant impact.
Morocco's National Institute of Geophysics (ING) confirmed the event, noting that such small tremors are common in the Rif Mountains area. Residents in nearby towns may have felt a slight shaking, but no emergency response was required.
