According to preliminary data, the quake was located at an intermediate to considerable depth of 236. km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. 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. Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Tropea (pop. 6,500) located 57 km from the epicenter. In Lamezia Terme (pop. 70,500, 82 km away), Nicastro-Sambiase (pop. 55,700, 82 km away), Milazzo (pop. 31,800, 84 km away), Cosenza (pop. 63,900, 85 km away), Messina (pop. 219,900, 88 km away), Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto (pop. 34,600, 92 km away), and Reggio Calabria (pop. 182,500, 99 km away), the quake was probably not felt.

When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 1 km2 (0 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (1 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jul 23, 2026 10:55 pm (Universal Time)4 minutes ago4.0238 km0 km - This quakeSicily, ItalyMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 56 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 900 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 62.5 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.06 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 17.9 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 0.36 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 2.8 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 4 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 31.9 quakes per year (or 2.7 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 298 quakes per year (or 24.8 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 813 quakes per year (or 68 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 60 to 65 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
