Information about the Santo Domingo earthquake and its veracity

The National Seismological Center of the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD) has officially denied the occurrence of a 4.7 magnitude earthquake in Santo Domingo on August 1, 2026. The institution confirmed that its monitoring systems contain no records of any seismic activity in the region that would have been perceptible to the human population on that date.

This clarification addresses circulating reports regarding a potential seismic event. By confirming the absence of such data, the center effectively categorizes the claims of a tremor as unfounded, providing an authoritative rebuttal to misinformation concerning the city's seismic activity.
