A magnitude 3.9 earthquake near Algiers, Wilaya d’Alger, Algeria, was reported only 12 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 10. km beneath the epicenter in the morning on Sunday, September 14th, 2025, at 7:11 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.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 3.9 earthquake as well. A third agency, Spain’s Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.9.
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 Larbaa (pop. 58,300) located 7 km from the epicenter, Meftah (pop. 40,900) 9 km away, Ouled Slama Fouaga (pop. 27,600) 10 km away, Bougara (pop. 38,400) 13 km away, Baraki (pop. 105,400) 18 km away, Bab Ezzouar (pop. 275,600) 21 km away, Rouiba (pop. 117,600) 23 km away,
