Unconfirmed Light Earthquake Reported Southwest of Panama
An unconfirmed light magnitude 3.9 earthquake was reported in the North Pacific Ocean, 177 km southwest of Santiago, Veraguas, Panama.
Panama City, FL, November 13, 2026 — A light earthquake, measuring a magnitude of 3.9, was reportedly detected in the North Pacific Ocean. The epicenter of this seismic event is located approximately 177 kilometers southwest of Santiago, a city in the Veraguas province of Panama.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) or other primary seismic monitoring agencies have not yet confirmed the details of this event. The magnitude, described as light, suggests that any potential impact, if felt, would likely be minimal. Details regarding the exact time and date of the reported earthquake were not provided in the initial summary. Similarly, information such as the depth of the quake and its precise coordinates remain unconfirmed.
The region where the tremor was reported is part of the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Panama. Santiago is a significant urban center in the Veraguas province, located on the Azuero Peninsula. Earthquakes are not uncommon in this part of Central America, which lies along a seismically active zone. However, without confirmation from official sources, it is difficult to ascertain the full scope or significance of this particular seismic activity.
Further details, including official confirmation from seismic monitoring bodies, the exact timestamp of the event, and any potential impact on nearby landmasses or marine activity, are pending. The current information relies solely on an unconfirmed report of the seismic occurrence.
