Along the west end of the East Azores fracture zone, east of where it intersects with the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The east end of the fracture zone near Portugal and Spain is also seeing seismic activity.

Got me scared for a moment with earthquakes on islands in the Atlantic.

Fortunately, this isn't La Palma where seismologists say a landslide is coming someday and with it a mega-tsunami in the Atlantic.

Was there any comment on potential tsunamis from the earthquakes?

It seems they are more worried about stronger earthquakes and/or an eruption.
