A significant seismic event registering a magnitude of 5.5 occurred in the region of Southern Iran on February 1, 2026, at 05:11:20 UTC. The moderate tremor was automatically recorded by global monitoring networks operating across the Middle East.
The epicenter was located near 27.00° North latitude and 55.00° East longitude, positioning the event deep within the southern territories of the country. Initial assessments place the focal depth at a relatively shallow 10.0 kilometers, indicating that the energy release occurred close to the surface crust.
Weather conditions near the epicenter at the time of the seismic activity were reported as mild. Reports confirmed a clear sky, with temperatures resting at 12.0°C, typical for the early morning hours in the region.
The event is currently under standard seismic analysis to refine hypocenter calculations and confirm tectonic activity patterns for the area.
