An unconfirmed report described a magnitude 4.5 earthquake in the North Pacific Ocean, 43 kilometers southeast of Las Tablas, Panama. The report characterized the event as moderate, but the information provided does not establish whether the earthquake occurred.
No date or time for the reported event was provided. The source of the report and the agency, if any, responsible for confirming it were also not identified. No further details about the location, including its depth, were included.
The available information does not say whether the report prompted an official assessment or whether any shaking was felt. It also provides no details about possible damage, injuries, tsunami concerns or other effects. Those outcomes cannot be determined from the report alone.
The stated distance places the reported location 43 kilometers southeast of Las Tablas, a city in Panama, and identifies the North Pacific Ocean as the broader area. The report does not provide coordinates or additional geographic detail.
Because the event is explicitly described as unconfirmed, the magnitude and location should be treated as reported details rather than independently established findings. No confirmation, correction or subsequent update was included in the information available. Further information about the report’s timing, source and status was not provided.
