Unconfirmed quake or seismic-like event reported: 3.5 km southeast of Colima, Colima, Mexico, 7 minutes ago

We are receiving unverified early reports of ground shaking possibly caused by seismic activity in or near Colima, Colima, Mexico on 16 Apr 2025 (GMT) at approximately 05:50 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.

A shallow magnitude 4.6 earthquake was reported around noon near Caburan, Davao Occidental, Davao, Philippines.
According to Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the quake hit on Wednesday, April 16th, 2025, at 1:22 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10. 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.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Caburan (pop. 12,600) located 97 km from the epicenter, Culaman (pop. 3,500) 98 km away, and Mangili (pop. 3,000) 99 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you’re in the area, please send us your experience through our reporting mechanism, either online or via our mobile app. This will help us provide more first-hand updates to anyone around the globe who wants to know more about this quake.
