Small magnitude 3.3 earthquake 29 miles southeast of Port Augusta, South Australia, Australia

Just 21 minutes ago, a 3.3-magnitude earthquake struck near Port Augusta, South Australia, Australia. The tremor was recorded late at night on Wednesday, January 15th, 2025, at 11:48 pm local time, at a very shallow depth of 5.2 miles below the surface.
The event was filed by Geoscience Australia (GeoAu), the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.3 earthquake as well.
