New York City was shaken by a small earthquake on Friday with a 4.8 magnitude and an epicentre in neighbouring New Jersey state, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). In Brooklyn buildings shook, rattling cupboard doors and fixtures, an AFP correspondent reported. At the United Nations, which has its headquarters in New York, a Security Council meeting on the situation in Gaza was temporarily paused after the tremor.

“Is that an earthquake?” said Save the Children representative Janti Soeripto who was speaking at the time. There were no initial reports of injuries or damage. Social media users reported feeling the earthquake from Philadelphia up to New York and eastward along Long Island. The iconic Empire State Building reported on its X account: “I am fine.”—AFP
