Meknes –
A light earthquake measuring 3.0 on the Richter scale was recorded on the night of Wednesday, December 24, 2025, affecting the surroundings of the city of Meknes. The tremor was felt by a number of residents in the city and nearby areas, particularly during the late-night hours.
According to available data, the earthquake occurred at 11:43:27 p.m., with its epicenter located near Meknes, at a depth of approximately 6.2 miles (around 10 kilometers). This relatively shallow depth explains why the tremor was felt by some residents, despite the absence—so far—of any reported human or material damage.
Several citizens reported feeling a slight shaking inside their homes, especially in certain residential neighborhoods, causing brief concern before the situation quickly returned to normal.
This tremor is classified as a minor earthquake, which may be felt by some people but generally does not pose a real danger, according to established geophysical standards.
The region is known to experience limited seismic activity from time to time, pending any further official clarifications from the National Institute of Geophysics regarding more detailed information about this event.
