The National Geographic Institute (IGN) has documented a telluric movement of magnitude 2.5 with its epicenter in the northern part of the Alboran Sea, specifically off the coast of El Ejido. This event occurred at 06:12 AM on Tuesday, April 7, and was located at a depth of nine kilometers, according to provisional data published on the IGN website.

This recent tremor follows another previously recorded in the same area. On Monday, April 6, at 11:55 AM, a 3.2 magnitude earthquake was detected in Northern Alboran, at a depth of 30 kilometers. That event was felt with notable intensity in Balerma, also on the coast of El Ejido, and in the Granada town of Motril.

Seismic activity in the Alboran Sea is a recurrent phenomenon due to its location at a confluence zone of tectonic plates. Constant monitoring by the IGN allows for close tracking of these events and provides updated information to the population.
