An earthquake of 4.9 magnitude hit southern Iran early on Tuesday, shaking parts of Hormozgan province.
The European-Mediterranean Seismological Center made this known on Tuesday.
It said that the epicenter of the tremors was located 113 km northeast of the city of Bandar Abbas.
According to the Centre, the water area of its port is located in the north of the Strait of Hormuz, the vital shipping route that has been blocked by the US and Iran since the war began.
The earthquake comes a day after the Philippines was rocked by the strongest earthquake in decades that killed at least 37 people.
At the time of filing this report, there is no report about casualties or damage.
