The National Institute of Geophysics confirmed on Monday that a 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck Ouezzane Province.
No damage has been reported, Moroccan news agency MAP said.
The quake happened at 11:48 PM at a depth of 20 kilometers, with its epicenter in the Brikcha commune.
The quake was reported at a depth of 20 kilometers. It was located at 34.954 degrees north latitude and 5.635 degrees west longitude.
Many Moroccans left their homes out of fear as the North African kingdom experienced in 2023 one of the deadliest earthquakes in its history.
The earthquake struck the Al Haouz region, killing at least 3,000 individuals.
It also caused a devastating damage to Al Haouz infrastructures, especially at the level of people's residences.
In response to the devastating earthquake, Morocco pledged more measures as part of the country's disaster management policy.
In 2023, Morocco's Interior Minister, Abdelouafi Laftit, said that 325 projects worth a total of MAD 4.72 billion ($471 million) had benefited from funding under the “Incentives for the Development of Disaster Risk Reduction and Prevention Activities” program.
Regarding the “management of risks associated with natural disasters,” Laftit explained that the program in question received funding from the Fund to Combat the Effects of Natural Disasters, which accounted for one-third of the total amount.
