A magnitude 4.1 earthquake struck near Librilla in Murcia, Spain, at 11:59 a.m., with tremors felt in Alicante, Benidorm and Albacete. More than 80 calls were reportedly made to Murcia's emergency coordination centre, but no personal injuries or material damage were reported. The event was the strongest in the area in six months and occurred amid increased recent seismic activity. The report also outlines the earthquake risk in southern Spain and recalls the deadly 2011 Lorca earthquake.
