An earthquake of magnitude 4.3 occurred around noon on Sunday 6 June 2021 at 1:50 pm local time near Zamora, Cantón Zamora, Provincia de Zamora-Chinchipe, Ecuador, as reported by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at an intermediate depth of 116 km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms.
