The Philippines was shaken near Sanchez-Mira, Cagayan, Cagayan Valley, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.3 only 15 minutes ago, Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported.
The quake hit at a moderately shallow depth of 56. km beneath the epicenter near Sanchez-Mira, Cagayan, Cagayan Valley, Philippines, early morning on Monday, April 28th, 2025, at 1:18 am 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.4.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Namuac (pop. 3,000) located 70 km from the epicenter, Claveria (pop. 10,600) 71 km away, Sanchez-Mira (pop. 26,200) 76 km away, Cabaritan East (pop. 9,300) 97 km away, Aparri (pop. 33,200) 109 km away, and Laoag (pop. 102,100) 132 km away.
