Arab Weather - The Jordanian Seismological Observatory announced the recording of an earthquake measuring 5.1 on the Richter scale in northern Syria.

For its part, the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) reported that two earthquakes measuring 5.2 and 4.2 degrees occurred in the Syrian city of Hama, with a time difference of 3 minutes, and were felt by residents of the Turkish provinces of Hatay and Gaziantep.
