Seismic activity in this marine area is common. The national agency frequently records low-magnitude tremors in this location, most of which go unnoticed by the public and cause no damage.
Similar episodes have been recorded in the same area previously. Throughout this year, other seismic events of higher magnitude have been documented in this channel between the islands, which were also felt by residents in various municipalities on both islands.
