The operative words are "shallow focus seismic tremors" and "Seismic events".

The things being refered to are of very minor surface scale. Anything that shakes the material of the crust, even locally, in any degree perceptible by instruments, is an "earthquake", and will be refered to by professionals as a seismic event, but there the similarity between such trifles and the sort of thing recently occured off Sumatra ends.
