A magnitude 4.9 earthquake near Mendoza, Departamento de Guaymallén, Mendoza Province, Argentina, was reported only 17 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at an intermediate depth of 128.65 km beneath the epicenter early morning on Saturday, July 12th, 2025, at 3:52 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 Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 4.9 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 4.9, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 4.9, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 4.9.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Primero de Mayo (pop. 1000) located 15 km from the epicenter, Pocito (pop. 41,000) 52 km away, Caucete (pop. 33,600) 56 km away, Santa Lucia (pop. 43,600) 66 km away, Chimbas (pop. 73,800) 72 km away, Villa Paula de Sarmiento (pop. 19,100) 72 km away,
