The earthquake hit in the morning on Wednesday, July 16th, 2025, at 9:03 am local time at a shallow depth of 10. 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. Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc. In Davila (pop. 3,500) located 12 km from the epicenter, Pasuquin (pop. 5,800) 15 km away, Pagudpud (pop. 4,900) 16 km away, and Bacarra (pop. 9,600) 23 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking. Weak shaking might have been felt in Laoag (pop. 102,100) located 30 km from the epicenter, San Nicolas (pop. 34,200) 32 km away, Batac City (pop. 55,500) 46 km away, and Sanchez-Mira (pop. 26,200) 59 km away.
