An earthquake of magnitude 4.9 occurred in the morning on Thursday, November 27th, 2025, at 11:10 am local time near Laoag, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos, Philippines, as reported by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 10. km. 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.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Carasi (pop. 1,600) located 11 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Laoag (pop. 112,100) located 40 km from the epicenter, San Nicolas (pop. 34,200) 40 km away, Batac City (pop. 55,500) 46 km away, Sanchez-Mira (pop. 26,200) 48 km away, Aparri (pop. 68,400) 73 km away, Bangued (pop. 48,300) 76 km away, and Tabuk (pop. 122,800) 95 km away.
