Four earthquakes strike UAE

Four moderate earthquakes hit the UAE early on Sunday, just a day after a tremor measuring 3.4 on the Richter scale struck Deba Al Fujairah on the east coast.

The latest earthquakes were felt by residents up and down the east coast, but there have been no reports of injuries or damage to property.

The National Centre for Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) said the first earthquake had a magnitude of 4.4 of the Richter scale and hit at 01.25.03 local time, with the quake's epicentre in the Gulf of Oman about 140 kilometres east of the city of Al Ain.
