This alert expired on 16 May 2026 at 01:00 UTC. It is kept here as a record.

No stronger detection stands among the 15 recorded within 20 km of this point since 1 April 2026 — 9 others scored the same. Another comparable one was recorded here earlier the same day. 2 more were recorded here in the fortnight before it.
