4.9 quake 16 Jan 12:51 am (GMT -3)
A magnitude 4.9 earthquake near San Juan, Departamento de Capital, Argentina, was reported only 14 minutes ago by INPRES, considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in this part of the world. The earthquake occurred at an intermediate depth of 96 km beneath the epicenter after midnight on Saturday 16 January 2021 at 12:51 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.9 as well.
