Magnitude 6.0 Earthquake Strikes Ethiopia

A magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck central Ethiopia on Friday, multiple earthquake monitoring agencies said.

The earthquake struck near Ethiopia’s largest and most populous region, Oromiya with a population of nearly half a million, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said.

The temblor was shallow, at a depth of 10 km (6.2 miles), the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said.

Users took to social media platform X to share solidarity with those affected by the earthquake.

There were no immediate reports of damages or casualties from the earthquake.

The regions of Oromiya and Afar have been experiencing intense seismo-volcanic activity that has forced the evacuation of thousands of residents and caused extensive infrastructure damage since December.

For the past few weeks, Afar and Oromiya have been shaken by a multitude of minor quakes after a nearby volcano began showing signs of imminent eruption at the start of the year.
