Small 3.9 quake hits near Castrovillari, Province of Cosenza, Calabria, Italy

The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported a magnitude 3.9 quake in Italy near Castrovillari, Province of Cosenza, Calabria, only 5 minutes ago. The earthquake hit around noon on Saturday, April 25th, 2026, at 12:43 pm local time at an intermediate to considerable depth of 249. 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.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 3.9 earthquake as well.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Serluca-Calabaia Isola Polazza (pop. 150, 41 km away), Diamante (pop. 3,100, 41 km away), Belvedere Marittimo (pop. 6,200, 41 km away), Cetraro Marina (pop. 4,000, 45 km away), Marcellina (pop. 2,000, 47 km away), Scalea (pop. 9,300, 48 km away), Praia a Mare (pop. 6,500, 55 km away), Paola (pop. 12,600, 56 km away), and Castrovillari (pop. 20,300, 77 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
