The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 2.4 quake in Germany near Schopfheim, Freiburg Region, Baden-Wurttemberg, only 23 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Wednesday, December 31st, 2025, at 4:15 am local time at a very shallow depth of 7. km. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from France’s Military Applications Division – Earth and Environmental Science (CEA) which listed the quake at magnitude 2.9.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Herrischried (pop. 2,800) located 5 km from the epicenter. In Schopfheim (pop. 19,400, 12 km away), Bad Sackingen (pop. 16,500, 16 km away), Rheinfelden (pop. 32,500, 20 km away), Rheinfelden (Baden) (pop. 32,500, 20 km away), Loerrach (pop. 47,000, 24 km away), Liestal (pop. 12,800, 29 km away), and Freiburg (pop. 216,000, 34 km away), the quake was probably not felt.

An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 occurred in the morning on Wednesday, December 31st, 2025, at 8:13 am local time near Banda Aceh, Kota Banda Aceh, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Province, Indonesia, as reported by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 10. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.6 earthquake as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Banda Aceh (pop. 255,000) located 100 km from the epicenter.
