Embassy warnings are always to be heeded as they contain important information. Here is UAE’s warning to the Emiratis.
The UAE Embassy in Seoul has issued a warning to Emiratis after a rare 5.4-magnitude earthquake hit South Korea’s southern region on Wednesday.
The quake, the second most powerful recorded in South Korea, struck at the shallow depth of nine kilometers near the industrial city of Pohang at around 2.30pm (05.30 GMT), the Korea Meteorological Administration said.
Seven people were injured, Seoul’s public administration ministry said, but they warned that number could rise because the quake was shallow.

The Korean peninsula is rarely troubled by significant quakes.
