A magnitude 3.6 earthquake near Messina, Messine, Sicily, Italy, was reported only 7 minutes ago by the National Observatory of Athens (NOA), considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in this part of the world. The earthquake occurred at an intermediate to considerable depth of 169.2 km beneath the epicenter early morning on Saturday, January 6th, 2024, at 5:23 am local time. 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.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Vulcano Piano (pop. 400, 9 km away), Milazzo (pop. 31,800, 21 km away), Patti (pop. 9,300, 25 km away), Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto (pop. 34,600, 26 km away), Capo d'Orlando (pop. 12,000, 38 km away), Messina (pop. 219,900, 45 km away), Reggio Calabria (pop. 169,100, 58 km away), Bronte (pop. 18,400, 66 km away), and Palmi (pop. 18,600, 68 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
