The earthquake hit in the afternoon on Thursday, July 17th, 2025, at 4:18 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 4.2 miles. 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 2.8 earthquake as well. Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include South Yelbeni (pop. 29) located 4 miles from the epicenter, and South Trayning (pop. 42) 8 miles away. In North Kellerberrin (pop. 39, 13 miles away), Korrelocking (pop. 50, 15 miles away), North Tammin (pop. 120, 16 miles away), Wyalkatchem (pop. 400, 21 miles away), Kellerberrin (pop. 960, 22 miles away), Tammin (pop. 190, 26 miles away), and Merredin (pop. 2,900, 36 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
