On December 12th, 2013, at 01.59 (local time) an earthquake at a depth of 7 km occurred near Sargans (SG).

Over 500 people have submitted a 'felt report' to the Swiss Seismological Service. The earthquake was felt over large areas of the German part of Switzerland as well as in Liechtenstein and Vorarlberg. Additionally, some reports arrived from the Western part of Switzerland. No damage is usually expected for an earthquake of this magnitude.
