A magnitude 2.8 earthquake near Skelleftea, Skellefteå Kommun, Vaesterbotten County, Sweden, was reported only 8 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 shallow depth of 13.20 km beneath the epicenter late at night on Friday, September 19th, 2025, at 10:45 pm 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.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Forsbacka (pop. 1,700) located 4 km from the epicenter, Langsele (pop. 1,600) 12 km away, and Boliden (pop. 1,700) 15 km away.
