An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 struck Maldives on Monday (May 27) evening. In a post on X, India's National Centre for Seismology (NCS) said the earthquake was at 10 kilometres depth in Arabian Sea.
"A moderate magnitude 4.5 earthquake occurred in the Arabian Sea 216 km (134 mi) from Maldives in the evening of Monday, May 27, 2024 at 8.26 pm local time (GMT +5). The quake had a very shallow depth of 10 km (6 mi) and was felt by many near the epicenter. The shallow depth of the quake caused it to be felt more strongly near the epicenter than a deeper quake of similar magnitude would," according to information available on Volcano Discovery.
