ST. JOHN’S, Antigua — A magnitude 3.5 earthquake was recorded northeast of Antigua and Barbuda on Tuesday afternoon, according to preliminary information released by the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre (UWI-SRC).

The earthquake occurred at 1:48 p.m. local time on November 10, 2026, at a depth of 27 kilometers.

The Seismic Research Centre placed the epicenter at latitude 18.20 degrees north and longitude 62.83 degrees west, approximately 162 kilometers from St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda.

The preliminary report also placed the epicenter about 100 kilometers from Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis, and 170 kilometers from Brades, Montserrat.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries in the information released by the center.

The UWI-SRC cautioned that the earthquake’s location and magnitude were calculated automatically using computer algorithms and remain subject to revision following analysis by its scientists.

The Eastern Caribbean experiences regular seismic activity because of movement along the boundaries of the Caribbean and North American tectonic plates.
