Tunisia earthquake activity continued early April 23, 2025, as a magnitude 3.8 earthquake struck 3.9 km southeast of Sidi Bouzid.
The shallow tremor, recorded at a depth of 10 km, occurred at 12:49 AM local time. While no immediate damage or injuries have been reported, the event adds to growing regional seismic concern.
Tunisia earthquake activity this month has included another recent quake: a 3.7 magnitude tremor that occurred just days earlier in the same general area.
This pattern of incidents indicates a growing seismic activity in and around Sidi Bouzid.
Such earthquakes of moderate strength trigger safety evaluations as well as preparedness warnings mainly during events with shallow depths.
Seismologists track ongoing fault activities throughout Tunisia.
The Sidi Bouzid region, while not historically among the most seismically active in North Africa, lies within an area susceptible to tectonic shifts.
Recent earthquakes with shallow depths tend to reach the surface even when they do not trigger structural damage in the ground.
Local safety guidelines have been released by authorities while they ask citizens to stay alert and follow official geological and emergency service announcements..
