On Tuesday 6 February 2024 at 22:59:00 an earthquake of magnitude 1.1 and depth 7.4 km was recorded in 2 km NE San Fratello (ME). 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 occurred at 22:59:00 on February 6, 2024, with epicenter 2 km NE San Fratello (ME), having a depth of 7.4 km is therefore classified as superficial.

Being of magnitude 1.1, therefore less then 2.0, this earthquake is classified as "micro", as not felt by the population.
