Just 5 minutes ago, a 3.7-magnitude earthquake struck near Kaposvar, Somogy megye, Hungary. The tremor was recorded early afternoon on Friday, April 25th, 2025, at 2:16 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 10. km below the surface.
The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Berzence (pop. 2,700) located 5 km from the epicenter, Csurgo (pop. 5,700) 7 km away, Nagyatad (pop. 10,300) 13 km away, and Segesd (pop. 2,700) 17 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Nagykanizsa (pop. 47,300) located 28 km from the epicenter, Koprivnica (pop. 22,300) 29 km away, Barcs (pop. 12,100) 37 km away, Kaposvar (pop. 64,300) 49 km away, and Keszthely (pop. 19,700) 59 km away.

A moderately shallow magnitude 6.3 earthquake was reported early morning near Esmeraldas, Provincia de Esmeraldas, Ecuador.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Friday, April 25th, 2025, at 6:44 am local time at a moderately shallow depth of 35. km. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) which listed the quake at magnitude 6.3 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 6.4, Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) at magnitude 6.3, and France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 5.6.
Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Esmeraldas (pop. 218,700) located 21 km from the epicenter.
In Valdez (pop. 11,400) located 63 km from the epicenter, Muisne (pop. 13,400) 77 km away, San Lorenzo de Esmeraldas (pop. 20,200) 80 km away, Rosa Zarate (pop. 42,100) 87 km away, and Santo Domingo de los Colorados (pop. 458,600) 156 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
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.

An earthquake of magnitude 6.3 occurred early morning on Friday, April 25th, 2025, at 6:44 am local time near Esmeraldas, Provincia de Esmeraldas, Ecuador, as reported by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from The Colombian Geological Service (SGC) which listed the quake at magnitude 6.5. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 6.3, and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 6.3.
Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Esmeraldas (pop. 218,700) located 24 km from the epicenter, and Valdez (pop. 11,400) 58 km away.
In San Lorenzo de Esmeraldas (pop. 20,200) located 75 km from the epicenter, Muisne (pop. 13,400) 80 km away, Rosa Zarate (pop. 42,100) 83 km away, and Santo Domingo de los Colorados (pop. 458,600) 151 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
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.

Unconfirmed quake or seismic-like event reported: 2.4 km west of Ipiales, Departamento de Narino, Colombia, 4 minutes ago

We are receiving unverified early reports of ground shaking possibly caused by seismic activity in or near Ipiales, Nariño, Colombia on 25 Apr 2025 (GMT) at approximately 11:46 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.
