Narrowing the location down the origin area appears to be in the region of the Comoros/Mayotte. A news article today suggests that the Mayotte swarm which began earlier this year may indeed be magmatic-related. Was this event a submarine volcanic eruption? lejournaldemayotte.yt/seismes-carte-

SBV, like the other stations, shows long monochromatic signal with ~17s period (mono-freq Rayleigh waves?). But filtered above 1Hz SBV (lower plot) also shows seismic(?) signals from repeating sources, with some ~50s apart. Maybe some large, shallow, oscillating volcanic source?

What is interesting is that a similar signal to today's cannot be seen for the Havre event in 2012 at Raoul Island or East Cape in New Zealand, as would be expected. I have no idea if a similar global signal of this nature has ever been observed.

Assuming epicenters just east of Mayotte, high-frequency (lower trace) arrivals at SBV correspond well to P & S from at least 3 sources resembling tectonic earthquakes, & the long period wave train (upper trace) correspond to the set of Rayleigh surface waves from these sources.
