Earthquake felt in Dubai; epicenter not yet clear, but the same quake seems to have also hit the Iran-Pakistan border region.
Another earthquake shakes Dubai on April 16, 2013- Tuesday, 6 days after an earthquake shook the UAE one week ago and many countries in the Middle East, Asia and the US on Tuesday afternoon.
According to the report from Emirates 24/7 a week ago, residents of the UAE felt the ground shake under their feet around 4pm on Tuesday as a 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck Southern Iran.
An aftershock measuring 5.4 was reported 13 minutes after the first earthquake.
