A magnitude 4.8 earthquake struck the Jordan-Syria border on Friday, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) said, Reuters reports.

The quake was at a depth of 10 km (6 miles), it said.

The earthquake was felt by residents across Syria and Lebanon.

Syria's National Earthquake Centre said the tremor was felt by residents of Salamiyah city in western Syria, near where a 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck late on Monday, causing panic and dozens of injuries but no casualties.
