An earthquake measuring magnitude 5.4 has struck off Egypt, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) says.

The quake hit at a depth of 10 km (6 miles), according to GFZ.

It was also felt across southern and central Israel.

The Egyptian Red Crescent says it activated its emergency response plan in the governorates where the quake was felt, but has so far received no reports of casualties or damage to property.
