Small 3.1 quake hits near Lugo, Galicia, Spain

An earthquake of magnitude 3.1 occurred early morning on Saturday, April 25th, 2026, at 3:10 am local time near Lugo, Galicia, Spain, as reported by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 2.60 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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 Spain's Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN), which listed it as a magnitude 3.1 earthquake as well. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 3.1.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Triacastela (pop. 830) located 3 km from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Becerrea (pop. 3,400) located 11 km from the epicenter, Lancara (pop. 3,100) 12 km away, Baralla (pop. 3,100) 12 km away, and Sarria (pop. 13,500) 14 km away. In Lugo (pop. 98,000, 36 km away), Monforte de Lemos (pop. 19,500, 36 km away), Ponferrada (pop. 68,700, 59 km away), and Ourense (pop. 105,200, 71 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
