A magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck 56 kilometres east of Gorgan in northern Iran early Sunday morning, according to preliminary seismic data.
The tremor occurred at 01:07 local time, with a shallow depth of just 3 kilometres, the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
Gorgan, the capital of Golestan Province, lies in a region of moderate seismic risk. Although the quake was felt across nearby areas, there have been no immediate reports of casualties or structural damage.
Iran’s Seismological Centre and other monitoring agencies are expected to confirm the data and provide updates as assessments continue.
Iran experiences frequent seismic activity due to its location on multiple fault lines. In recent decades, shallow quakes have caused severe damage, particularly in older or rural constructions.
