Moderate magnitude earthquake 4.3 to 6 km southeast of Durres, Albania
4.3 earthquake June 5 3:21 p.m. (GMT +2)
Just 33 minutes ago, a magnitude 4.3 earthquake hit near Durres, in the Durrës district of Albania. The tremor was recorded in the early afternoon of Sunday, June 5, 2022, at 3:21 p.m. local time, at a shallow depth of 10 km below the surface.
The event was recorded by the United States Geological Survey, the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.8. Other agencies reporting the same earthquake include the National Observatory of Athens (NOA) at magnitude 3.5, the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC) at magnitude 4.3, and the RaspberryShake Citizen Seismograph Network of magnitude 4.3.
Based on preliminary seismic data, the quake was likely felt by many people in the epicenter area. It must not have caused major damage, other than objects falling off shelves, glass breaking, etc.
In Durres (pop. 122,000) located 6 km from the epicenter, and in Kavajë (pop. 29,400) 12 km away, the earthquake should have been felt as light tremors.
Weak tremors could have been felt at Tirana (pop. 374,800) located 29 km from the epicenter, Kruje (pop. 21,300) at 37 km and Lushnje (pop. 41,500) at 42 km.
Other towns near the epicenter where the earthquake could have been felt as a very weak tremor include Bar (17,700 inhabitants) located 96 km from the epicenter.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the magnitude and depth if these change and will follow up if other major earthquake news becomes available. If you are in the area, please let us know about your experience through our reporting mechanism, online or through our mobile app. This will help us provide more first-hand updates to anyone around the world who wants to learn more about this earthquake.

If you felt this earthquake (or if you were near the epicenter), please share your experience and submit a short “I felt it” report! Other users would love to hear about it!
If you did NOT feel the tremor although you’re around, thank you for reporting it! Your input is valuable to earthquake science, earthquake hazard analysis, and mitigation efforts. You can use your device location or the map to show where you were during the earthquake. Thanks!

Data for the same earthquake reported by different agencies
Info: The more agencies report the same earthquake and publish similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data. It normally takes up to a few hours for the seismic parameters to be calculated with near optimum accuracy.
