A 5.1 magnitude earthquake struck northern Morocco late Monday, February 10, 2025, at 11:48 p.m. According to initial reports, the epicenter was located approximately 15 kilometers from Ksar El Kébir, with a depth of 10 kilometers.
The tremors sent shockwaves through various northern cities, including Tangier, Tetouan, Larache, and even reached the nation’s capital, Rabat. Alarmed residents reported feeling the ground shaking and many took to the streets, seeking safety from potential aftershocks.
As of now, there is no reported material damage or casualties.
Northern Morocco sits at the crossroads of two tectonic plates—the African and Eurasian—making the region prone to earthquakes. However, tremors of this intensity are considered relatively uncommon despite the area’s geological activity.
In the event of aftershocks, we advise staying informed through official channels and avoiding the spread of unverified information.
