It was one in a series of earthquakes that have occurred this week in the region, which is notorious for earthquake swarms. There was another swarm back in December of 2024.
Since Wednesday, more than a dozen earthquakes have occurred in this region, with a magnitude of 4.0 or greater. Eight earthquakes have seen a magnitude of 4.0 to 4.9, with eight others being greater than 5.0. This swarm is still showing signs of new movement in the earth, with additional earthquakes still occurring in the region.
