Significant magnitude 5.3 quake hits 74 km northwest of San Miguel de Tucuman, Argentina early morning An earthquake of magnitude 5.3 occurred only 12 minutes ago 74 km northwest of San Miguel de Tucuman, Argentina, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported.

The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10 km beneath the epicenter near San Miguel de Tucuman, Departamento de Capital, Tucuman, Argentina, early morning on Monday, January 10th, 2022, at 5:36 am 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.4.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter. 
Weak shaking might have been felt in San Miguel de Tucuman (pop. 781,000) located 74 km from the epicenter.
