An earthquake of magnitude 2.6 occurred only 12 minutes ago 18 km southwest of Freiburg, Germany, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 12.50 km beneath the epicenter near Freiburg, Freiburg Region, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, in the evening on Monday, May 12th, 2025, at 8:06 pm 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 Military Applications Division – Earth and Environmental Science (CEA) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.0. Other agencies reporting the same quake include France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 2.6, and the Swiss Seismological Service (SED) at magnitude 2.7.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Hartheim (pop. 4,500) located 3 km from the epicenter. In Mullheim (pop. 18,100, 11 km away), Freiburg (pop. 216,000, 18 km away), Emmendingen (pop. 27,400, 28 km away), Waldkirch (pop. 20,200, 32 km away), Schopfheim (pop. 19,400, 32 km away), Loerrach (pop. 47,000, 33 km away), and Weil am Rhein (pop. 29,500, 35 km away), the quake was probably not

Just 4 minutes ago, a 3.6-magnitude earthquake struck near Valdez, Chugach, Alaska, USA. The tremor was recorded in the morning on Monday, May 12th, 2025, at 9:35 am local time, at a shallow depth of 17 miles below the surface.
The event was filed by the United States Geological Survey, the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 3.6 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.6.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Tatitlek (pop. 88) located 28 miles from the epicenter. In Valdez (pop. 3,900, 41 miles away), and Girdwood (pop. 2,300, 56 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
