Juba has experienced earth tremors this evening. The tremors, lasting approximately 30 seconds, were felt at around 5:36 p.m. local time.
There are no immediate reports of damage or injuries, though the shaking was widely felt throughout the city. Juba residents took to social media to share their experiences, describing the tremors as light to moderate. It remains unclear whether other towns in the region also felt the tremors.
Earthquakes are infrequent in South Sudan, but they are more common in neighboring countries along the seismically active East African Rift, some of which have experienced earthquakes causing fatalities in recent years.
