Several UAE residents evacuated their buildings and took to their social media accounts to report the earthquake that had its epicentre in Iran but rattled many parts of the Emirates early Saturday morning.

Although no damage was reported in the UAE, the quake flattened the village of Sayeh Khosh near Iran's Gulf coast in Hormozgan province, causing the deaths of at least five people and injuring many. 

UAE residents reacted to the earthquake on their social media accounts, with some calling it the "longest earthquake" they had felt in the country.
