A 6.6-magnitude earthquake struck the eastern Mediterranean near the southwestern coast of Cyprus on Tuesday and was felt all the way south in Egypt.
The National Institute for Astronomy and Geophysics Research in Egypt said that the earthquake was recorded 415 kilometers north of Damietta on the Mediterranean coast north of Cairo.
A resident of Cyprus told The National that a “slight tremor” was felt in the capital, Nicosia.
In Egypt, residents felt the earthquake in areas north of the capital, Cairo.
There were no reports of damage or injuries.
Egypt was last hit by a devastating earthquake in 1992, when a 5.8-magnitude earthquake killed more than 500 and injured 6,500. At least 50,000 people were displaced by the earthquake, whose epicenter was near Cairo.
