3.7 quake Australia Dec 12, 2023 11:56 pm (Perth time)

A magnitude 3.7 earthquake near King Leopold Ranges, Derby-West Kimberley, Western Australia, Australia, was reported only 22 minutes ago by Geoscience Australia (GeoAu), considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in Australia. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 6.2 miles beneath the epicenter late at night on Tuesday, December 12th, 2023, at 11:56 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 data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.7 earthquake as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include King Leopold Ranges (pop. 770) located 39 miles from the epicenter.
