A magnitude 2.7 earthquake near Nantes, Loire-Atlantique, Pays de la Loire, France, was reported only 10 minutes ago by France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in this part of the world. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 5. km beneath the epicenter late at night on Tuesday, March 17th, 2026, at 11:02 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.A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 2.7…

A shallow magnitude 5.0 earthquake was reported early afternoon near Golfito, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica.According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the quake hit on Tuesday, March 17th, 2026, at 2:25 pm local time at a shallow depth of 18. 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.A second report was later issued by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 5.0 earthquake as well.Based on the preliminary seismic data,…
Unconfirmed earthquake or seismic-like event: Near Puerto Armuelles, Chiriquí Province, Panama, 2 minutes agoWe are receiving unverified early reports of ground shaking possibly caused by seismic activity in or near Puerto Armuelles, Chiriquí Province, Panama on 17 Mar 2026 (GMT) at approximately 20:26 GMT.There are no details yet on the magnitude or depth of this possible quake.
