An earthquake of magnitude 6.8 struck Morocco late on Friday, the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ) stated.

The quake was at a depth of 27 km (16.78 miles), GFZ stated.

The quake occurred about 72 km east of the Moroccan metropolis of Marrakesh, in response to the United States Geological Survey.

There have been no quick stories of any damages or casualties after the quake.

However, a couple of accounts on social media platform X, previously referred to as Twitter, confirmed tremors being felt. Videos posted on the platform confirmed individuals working out to streets and buildings shaking.
