Multiple aftershocks were reported after a magnitude 4.8 earthquake shook the northeastern US, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). At least six aftershocks occurred in the hours after the earthquake, whose epicenter was Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. The latest magnitude 4.0 aftershock struck just southwest of Gladstone, New Jersey, according to the USGS. Tremors were felt from Washington, D.C., to New York and Maine, as well as Philadelphia and throughout the five boroughs of New York City.

"There was just a 4.0 magnitude aftershock from this morning's earthquake in New Jersey," New York Gov. Kathy Hochul wrote on X. She said authorities are continuing to review critical infrastructure and "there are no reports of significant damage in this moment". Hochul said New Yorkers experienced one of the largest earthquakes on the East Coast in the past century. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said there were limited reports of damage and few or no injuries in his state, according to CNN.
