Early in the morning on October 12, an underground tremor occurred in the northern part of Spain, in the province of Navarre. The magnitude was 3, with the epicenter located near the town of Sallent de Gállego. The seismic event took place at around 5:27 a.m., when most local residents were still asleep.
Mild vibrations were felt in several towns, including Isaba (Isaba / Izaba), Sallent de Gállego, and Canfranc. Although the tremor was weak, some people woke up due to slight shaking of furniture or faint noises. The depth of the seismic focus has not been specified; however, experts note that such events rarely cause destruction or serious consequences.
Residents of the region were asked to fill out a special questionnaire to share their observations and experiences during the earthquake. The questions address what people were doing at the time of the tremor, whether they were resting or awake, and whether they noticed any objects moving or falling. Such information helps experts more accurately assess the impact and reconstruct what happened, as well as promptly inform the public about possible risks.
In the past week, ten similar incidents have already been recorded in this area, bringing the total to twenty since the beginning of the month. For comparison, in September, seismic tremors were also reported here, one of which was slightly stronger—with a magnitude of 3.5. Despite the increased frequency of tremors, no significant damage or injuries have been reported. Local residents remain calm, and experts continue to monitor the region’s seismic activity.
