Saudi: Al-Baha witnesses earthquake for 2nd time in a week

Al-Baha region in southern Saudi Arabia has witnessed an earthquake for the second time in a week.

The quake was of the magnitude of 1.95 on the Richter scale and a depth of 5 and a half kilometers, the Geological Survey Authority (GSA) spokesperson Tariq Aba Al-Khail announced.

Aba Al-Khail stated that some people in Al-Baha felt the earthquake due to its proximity to the earth’s surface. He noted that the earthquake was small and posed no danger. Saudi Arabia is on a divergent plate boundary, not a collision, so the earthquakes in it are all small.
