Moderate magnitude 4.5 quake hits 3 km south of Naranjal, Ecuador around noon

4.5 quake Provincia del Azuay, Ecuador, Apr 29, 2022 1:49 pm (GMT -5)

An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 occurred only 10 minutes ago 3 km south of Naranjal, Ecuador, the Institute of Geophysics of the National Polytechnic School in Quito (IGEPN) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 20 km beneath the epicenter near Naranjal, Cantón Naranjal, Provincia del Guayas, Ecuador, around noon on Friday, April 29th, 2022, at 1:49 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 4.5 earthquake as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Naranjal (pop. 32,000) located 3 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Balao (pop. 12,200) located 32 km from the epicenter, La Troncal (pop. 36,400) 44 km away, and Naranjito (pop. 34,200) 62 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include San Francisco de Milagro (pop. 133,500) located 63 km from the epicenter, Guayaquil (pop. 1,952,000) 63 km away, Duran (pop. 167,800) 64 km away, Yaguachi Nuevo (pop. 27,900) 68 km away, and Cuenca (pop. 277,000) 72 km away.
