Small magnitude 3.7 quake hits 35 km southeast of Lugo, Spain early morning

Wait 5 sec.

A magnitude 3.7 earthquake near Lugo, Galicia, Spain, was reported only 16 minutes ago by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 7.80 km beneath the epicenter early morning on Saturday, April 25th, 2026, at 3:02 am local time. 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 Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera, IPMA), which listed it as a magnitude 3.2 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 3.7, and Spain's Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) at magnitude 3.7.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 4 km from the epicenter, Becerrea (pop. 3,400) 9 km away, Baralla (pop. 3,100) 11 km away, Lancara (pop. 3,100) 11 km away, and Sarria (pop. 13,500) 14 km away.Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Lugo (pop. 98,000) located 35 km from the epicenter, Monforte de Lemos (pop. 19,500) 38 km away, and Ponferrada (pop. 68,700) 59 km away. In Ourense (pop. 105,200, 72 km away), the quake was probably not felt.Earthquake data: Date & time: Apr 25, 2026 03:02 am (GMT +2) local time (25 Apr 2026 01:02 GMT)Magnitude: 3.7Depth: 7.80 kmEpicenter latitude / longitude: 42.79°N / 7.24°W (Lugo, Galicia, Spain)Primary data source: EMSC
