The earthquake hit in the evening on Friday, March 14th, 2025, at 9:00 pm local time at a shallow depth of 15.70 km. 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.
