The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 5. km beneath the epicenter around noon on Saturday, October 24th, 2026, at 1:05 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
