A 4.4-magnitude earthquake jolted southwest Kuwait on Tuesday, as reported by the Kuwait National Seismic Network. The natural event caused ripples of concern, though no immediate reports of damage or casualties have emerged.
According to the seismic network, the tremor was detected in the Al Manaqeesh area at precisely 1:27 PM local time. The quake originated from a depth of 5 kilometers beneath the surface, highlighting the volatile nature of the region’s underground activity.
This is not the first seismic disturbance to hit Al Manaqeesh. The same area experienced a smaller earthquake in March 2025, measuring 3.9 on the Richter scale. Such recurring tremors emphasize the need for heightened vigilance and preparedness in this southwestern region.
