Just 12 minutes ago, a 3.9-magnitude earthquake struck near Nijar, Almería, Andalusia, Spain. The tremor was recorded in the morning on Saturday, December 31st, 2022, at 8:05 am local time, at a very shallow depth of 5 km below the surface.
The event was filed by Spain's Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN), the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera, IPMA), which listed it as a magnitude 3.9 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 3.9, and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 3.9.
