RABAT, Jan. 25 -- A 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck early Monday in the Mediterranean between Morocco and Spain, the Moroccan National Institute of Geophysics said in a statement.
The quake was recorded off the northern city of Nador at 4:34 a.m. (0434 GMT), the Moroccan National Institute of Geophysics said.
It was followed by a 5.3-magnitude tremor.
