Intensity and impact

Timing discrepancy

While most outlets report the earthquake at 15:39, El Español places it at 15:38 and also notes the aftershock at 15:39. IGN data shows the main event at 15:38 and the aftershock at 15:39 Source: El Español. Other sources like Infobae, El Confidencial, and El Mundo list only the 15:39 time for the main quake Source: Infobae. The discrepancy likely arises from different IGN updates but has no practical significance for the public.
