After midnight, a 4-degree earthquake with epicenter in Iruña de Oca has shaken Álava. According to the Basque Government's Emergency Coordination Centre, no replicasare expected and, if they occur, they will not be so large and will be invisible to the population. In addition, there is no personal or material damageand SOS Deiak has asked for calm to follow only official information.

After the tremor, the warning has reached citizens' mobile phones with recommendations on how to act.

From the epicenter, the mayor of Nanclares explained that he had noticed "two very strong blows, like two explosions. "

The mayor of Vitoria-Gasteiz, Maider Etxebarria, has written in X that "thousands of people have noticed in #VitoriaGasteiz" and, for the time being, there is no record of personal or material damage. "Above all, calm and follow the official messages," he added.

The earthquake has also been felt in La Rioja, especially in Logroño, Haro and several municipalities in the Upper Rioja.

In 1967 there was another earthquake of similar intensity in Álava, which also forced thousands of Vitorians to leave their homes. However, one of the hardest and most devastating occurred two centuries ago. 

Pasada la medianoche, un terremoto de magnitud 4 en la escala de Richter con epicentro en Iruña Oka ha sacudido Araba. Según el Centro de Coordinación de Emergencias del Gobierno Vasco, no se esperan réplicas y, en caso de producirse, serían de menor intensidad e imperceptibles para la ciudadanía.
