A shallow magnitude 3.6 earthquake was reported in the morning near San Giovanni Rotondo, Provincia di Foggia, Apulia, Italy.
According to Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), the quake hit on Saturday, February 22nd, 2025, at 7:09 am local time at a shallow depth of 16.40 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.6 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 3.1, and The Seismological Survey of Serbia (SSS) at magnitude 3.5.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Santa Barbara-Ripa (pop. 10) located 19 km from the epicenter, Vico del Gargano (pop. 7,300) 24 km away, Cagnano Varano (pop. 7,300) 30 km away, Vieste (pop. 11,200) 36 km away, Sannicandro Garganico (pop. 15,800) 36 km away, San Giovanni Rotondo (pop. 26,200) 44 km away, Manfredonia (pop. 52,900) 52 km away, and San Severo (pop. 54,900) 59 km away. In Torremaggiore (pop. 17,000, 64 km away), the quake was probably not felt.

Unconfirmed quake or seismic-like event reported: 8.8 km southwest of San Salvador, San Salvador, El Salvador, 5 minutes ago

We are receiving unverified early reports of ground shaking possibly caused by seismic activity in or near San Salvador, San Salvador, El Salvador on 22 Feb 2025 (GMT) at approximately 04:43 GMT.
There are no details yet on the magnitude or depth of this possible quake. If confirmed, we can expect more accurate data to emerge in the next few minutes. The location, magnitude and time mentioned are indicative, based on our best-fit seismic model. They are temporary until our AllQuakes monitoring service receives more exact scientific data from a national or international seismological agency. Check back here shortly and stay safe.
