Place: Costa Siciliana nord-orientale (Messina).

On Tuesday 30 April 2024 at 22:28 an earthquake of magnitude 2.3 and depth 142.9 km was recorded in Costa Siciliana nord-orientale (Messina). Further info on the INGV webpage by clicking here.
Based on the depth of the hypocenter, earthquakes are classified into superficial (hypocenter between 0 e 70 and deep), intermediate (Hypocenter between 70 and 300 km deep) and deep (hypocenter between 300 and 720 km deep). The earthquake that occurred at 22:28 on 30 April 2024 with epicenter Costa Siciliana nord-orientale (Messina), having a depth of 142.9 km is therefore classified as intermediate.
Being of magnitude 2.3, therefore between 2 and 3, this earthquake is classified as "very light". This type of earthquake is not generally felt, but recorded only by seismographs.
