Small magnitude-3.2 tremor reported 27 km west of Murcia, Spain

A magnitude 3.2 earthquake near Murcia, Spain, was reported just 12 minutes ago by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), considered one of the key international agencies monitoring seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 5. km beneath the epicenter on the morning of Wednesday, November 11th, 2026, at 7:50 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 the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 3.3 earthquake. A third agency, Spain's Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.3.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage but was probably felt by many people as a light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Pliego (pop. 3,500), located 8 km from the epicenter; Alhama de Murcia (pop. 19,900), 11 km away; Mula (pop. 16,900), 12 km away; Las Torres de Cotillas (pop. 21,100), 19 km away; and Alcantarilla (pop. 41,100), 19 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Totana (pop. 29,200), located 21 km from the epicenter; Molina de Segura (pop. 64,100), 23 km away; and Murcia (pop. 472,000), 27 km away. In Lorca (pop. 93,100, 39 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
