4.6 quake 16 Jan 10:25 pm (GMT +10)

Just 31 minutes ago, a 4.6-magnitude earthquake struck near Pagan Village, Pagan Island, Northern Islands, Northern Mariana Islands. The tremor was recorded late at night on Saturday 16 January 2021 at 10:25 pm local time, at a great depth of 351 km below the surface.
The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.6 as well.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Pagan Village (pop. 50, 73 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
