UPDATE
The Swiss Seismological Service (SED) mentions, "Am Samstag, 11. Februar, um 23:45 hat sich zwischen Zuger und Ägerisee, in einer Tiefe von ca 30 km, ein Erdbeben der Magnitude 4.2 ereignet. Das Beben ist in weiten Teilen der Deutschschweiz, im Berner Jura, und bis ins Tessin verspürt worden.
Aufgrund der grossen Tiefe ist es sehr unwahrscheinlich, dass dieses Beben Schäden verursacht hat.
In der selben Gegend hat sich letztmals am 23. Oktober 1997 ein ähnlich tiefes Beben ereignet, allerdings mit Magnitude 3.2 etwas schwächer als das Beben von Samstag nacht"
UPDATE
Swiss seismological agency also doesn't expect any damage from this quake.The magnitude same as EMSC mentions
UPDATE
Though the earthquake at this depth and with this magnitude is enough to shake Zug and Zurich area, there is almost no chance of causing any damage. It is certain people are little panicked because the earthquake has strike Switzerland where earthquakes are rare.
UPDATE
Earlier EMSC mentioned M 4.1 @ 16 km depth but it has updated as M 4.2 @ 32 km depth USGS remains @ M 4.1 @ 16 km depth. Earthquake in these are recorded but most of them less than M 2.0
