2026-07-24 12:05:12 UTC (11 hours ago) · approx. 1:05 PM UTC+1 local
On July 24, 2026 at 12:05 UTC, a magnitude 2.8 shallow crustal earthquake struck 1 km E of Monte Giberto, Italy, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 43.0903°, 13.6459°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.8 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 239 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 52 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
