A magnitude-5.1 earthquake struck Oklahoma in the United States late Friday night. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the tremor occurred at a depth of 6 kilometers, providing a jolt to the local communities.
While Oklahoma is not the most earthquake-prone state, recent years have seen an uptick in seismic activity, often linked to industrial activities such as oil and gas extraction. Experts are monitoring the situation to better understand these patterns and mitigate future risks.
If you are in the area, officials advise taking necessary precautions and staying informed through reliable sources.
