the U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake occurred 45 kilometers from the Awash region, home to the Awash River, one of Ethiopia's major rivers. It flows into Lake Gaguri, which links to other lakes and ends at Lake Abi on the border with Djibouti. It noted that the earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers.
