Morocco earthquake: 296 casualties as 6.8 magnitude quake hits southwest of Marrakesh |Oneindia News
Morocco is hit by a deadly earthquake.
An official said that at least 296 people were killed after a powerful earthquake of magnitude 6.8 hit Morocco on Friday night.
No official casualty figures have been released yet.
The US Geological Survey said the quake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.8 when it hit at 11:11 pm local time, with shaking that lasted several seconds.
Morocco’s National Seismic Monitoring and Alert Network measured it at 7 on the Richter scale.
The US agency reported a magnitude 4.9 aftershock hit 19 minutes later.
A powerful magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck near Indonesia’s Pulau Pulau Tanimbar region at a depth of 49.6 miles, causing strong tremors but fortunately no tsunami threat. The earthquake was recorded late at night, sending residents scrambling from their homes. Despite the strong seismic shock, early assessments indicate minimal structural damage and no immediate reports of casualties. Indonesian authorities, along with global seismic monitors, continue to evaluate the aftershock potential and regional impact. Indonesia lies along the volatile “Ring of Fire” and frequently experiences seismic events of varying magnitudes. Emergency response teams remain on alert as aftershocks are possible. The US Geological Survey has classified the quake as moderate but deep, which likely reduced surface-level devastation. While the region breathes a sigh of relief over the lack of a tsunami, experts warn of potential tremors in the coming hours. Local officials urge residents to remain cautious but calm.

A powerful 6.5 magnitude earthquake struck Colombia’s capital Bogota on Sunday, June 8, 2025, causing widespread panic as buildings trembled and residents ran for safety. Originating at a depth of 10 km, the quake hit 170 km from Bogota at 9:08 am local time. The tremors coincided with a national tragedy as presidential candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay was shot at a campaign event the same day. He was seen bleeding from the head and back in videos. Colombia now reels from a double crisis—natural disaster and political violence.

A powerful 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck near Crete early Thursday, shaking areas across Greece, Israel, Egypt, and Cyprus. The quake, at a depth of 69 km, was centered north of Crete, near Ágios Nikólaos and Irákleion. Residents reported intense, brief tremors. This seismic event follows a similar 6.0 quake in the Mediterranean last week. Situated on a major tectonic boundary, Greece remains highly quake-prone, with thousands of tremors recorded recently in the Cyclades region alone.
