The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 6.0 earthquake in Somalia near Caluula, Alula District, Bari, just 16 minutes ago. The earthquake struck after midnight on Friday, August 28th, 2026, at 12:07 am local time, at a shallow depth of 10 km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the earthquake 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.Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which also listed the earthquake at magnitude 6.0. Other agencies reporting the same earthquake include France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 5.3, the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.9, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.9.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the earthquake should not have caused any significant damage but was probably felt by many people as light vibrations in the epicentral area. Weak shaking might have been felt in Caluula (pop. 6,100), located 146 km from the epicenter.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the magnitude and depth if they change and follow up if other significant news about the earthquake becomes available.
