A magnitude 3.5 earthquake occurred on Saturday morning, September 26th, 2026, at 9:56 am local time near Innsbruck, Tirol, Austria, according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).According to preliminary data, the quake occurred at a shallow depth of 14.20 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones because they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake may be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage but was probably felt by many people as light vibrations in the epicentral area.
