On July 24, 2026 at 22:08 UTC, a magnitude 4.4 shallow crustal earthquake struck 3 km NNE of Scontrone, Italy, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 41.7734°, 14.0474°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.4 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 60 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 655 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
