A very shallow magnitude 2.8 earthquake was reported early afternoon near Muswellbrook, New South Wales, Australia.
According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the quake hit on Friday, October 24th, 2025, at 2:07 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 3.1 miles. 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.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Muswellbrook (pop. 12,100) located 6 miles from the epicenter, Denman (pop. 1,800) 9 miles away, and Aberdeen (pop. 2,000) 12 miles away. In Scone (pop. 5,600, 19 miles away), Singleton Heights (pop. 4,600, 24 miles away), and Singleton (pop. 5,100, 26 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
