4.3 Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Victoria, No Damage Reported

The early morning quake centered near Leongatha was felt across the state, including Melbourne, but resulted in no injuries or damage.

Thousands of Victorians were woken by the 4.3 magnitude earthquake early Friday morning.
The quake's epicenter was near Leongatha in the Gippsland region, 135km southeast of Melbourne, and was felt as far away as Sunbury and Wilson's Promontory National Park.
No tsunami threat was reported following the quake, and despite nearly 5,000 reports of the quake being felt, no injuries or damage have been documented.
This is the largest earthquake to hit Victoria since a 5.0 magnitude quake in October, with the state experiencing an increase in seismic activity in recent years.
The earthquake serves as a reminder of the importance of disaster preparedness and community resilience in the face of natural events.
