Oman rules out tsunami threat after 4.9-magnitude quake hits Gulf of Aden

## Earthquake Details

A 4.9-magnitude earthquake struck east of the Gulf of Aden on Thursday evening. The tremor was recorded at 6:11 PM Oman time, occurring at a depth of 77 kilometers.

## Tsunami Risk Assessment

Oman's meteorological authority has confirmed that the earthquake does not pose a tsunami threat to the country's coastline. The National Multi-Hazard Early Warning Centre, responsible for monitoring seismic activity and potential tsunami threats, has not issued any warnings.

## Monitoring and Preparedness

The early warning center was established after the 2004 Indian Ocean disaster to monitor earthquakes and sea levels in the Arabian Sea region. It focuses on areas like the Makran Subduction Zone, which could potentially affect Oman and neighboring countries. Despite the seismic activity, no tsunami warnings were necessary for this event.
