A shallow magnitude 3.7 earthquake was reported early in the morning near Alicudi Porto, Province of Messina, Sicily, Italy.
According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the quake occurred on Thursday, October 22nd, 2026, at 5:37 am local time, 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 might 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.
A second report was later issued by Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), which also listed it as a magnitude 3.7 earthquake.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Alicudi Porto (pop. 110), located 33 km from the epicenter. In Cefalu (pop. 11,600, 81 km away), Capo d’Orlando (pop. 12,000, 88 km away), and Bagheria (pop. 53,100, 92 km away), the quake was probably not felt.

An earthquake of magnitude 2.8 occurred early on Thursday morning, October 22nd, 2026, at 5:28 am local time near Brive-la-Gaillarde, Corrèze, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, as reported by France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 5. 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 might 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.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Lachapelle-Auzac (pop. 860), located 5 km from the epicenter; Souillac (pop. 3,900), 7 km away; and Eyvigues-et-Eybenes (pop. 1,200), 9 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Saint-Pantaleon-de-Larche (pop. 3,900), located 20 km from the epicenter, and Sarlat-la-Caneda (pop. 11,100), 20 km away. In Terrasson-Lavilledieu (pop. 6,400, 22 km away), Brive-la-Gaillarde (pop. 53,500, 23 km away), Malemort-sur-Correze (pop. 7,100, 25 km away), and Tulle (pop. 17,000, 42 km away), the quake was probably not felt.

A very shallow magnitude 3.1 earthquake was reported early in the morning near Chambery, Savoy, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France.
According to France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), the quake struck on Thursday, October 22nd, 2026, at 4:03 am local time, at a very shallow depth of 0. 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 might 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.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.6 earthquake.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage but was probably felt by many people as a light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Les Avenieres (pop. 4,700), located 5 km from the epicenter.
