The quake struck at 10:52 local time, according to data from monitoring stations, and was centered close to the eastern border strip neighboring Maysan.

Civil defense and health units in Maysan reported no casualties or material damage linked to the shaking. Authorities said aftershocks in the area were also being tracked.
