Morocco’s Al Haouz region experienced a tremor last night, causing anxiety among residents, a few months after the earthquake that struck the region killing thousands.

Nasser Jabour, head of the Moroccan Institute of Geophysics and Seismology, reported that the quake, measuring 3.6 on the Richter scale, occurred at 10:22 PM local time.

In a statement to Hespress, Jabour emphasized that this seismic activity is part of the aftershocks from the September earthquake, noting a decrease in seismic activity recently.

Last month, minor tremors were recorded in different Atlas Mountains areas, but this latest quake was more palpable, according to Jabour.
