It seems a new earthquake swarm has started yesterday, when the number of quakes rose from an average of about 8-10 to 23 quakes, and there have been 12 so far today.
So far, the quakes are small, and are concentrated at about 10 km depth in the western El Golfo and scattered in the SW part of the island at greater depths.
