Attached is an updated map showing the shaking felt (and reported) by this earthquake.Update Mon, 22 Sep 2025, 01:24Magnitude 5.0 earthquake strikes near Kavala, East Macedonia and Thrace, GreeceAn earthquake of magnitude 5.0 occurred only 4 minutes ago 78 km southwest of Kavala, Greece, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.The quake hit at a very shallow depth of 5. km beneath the epicenter near Kavala, East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece, early morning on Monday, September 22nd, 2025, at 4:20 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 5.2. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 4.7, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.2, and The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) at magnitude 4.8.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.In Nea Roda (pop. 1,200) located 23 km from the epicenter, Sarti (pop. 1,200) 24 km away, Ierissos (pop. 3,300) 27 km away, Sykia (pop. 1,900) 31 km away, and Neos Marmaras (pop. 3,200) 37 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.Weak shaking might have been felt in Nikiti (pop. 2,700) located 41 km from the epicenter, Kavala (pop. 54,000) 78 km away, Drama (pop. 44,800) 98 km away, and Thessaloniki (pop. 317,800) 111 km away.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!Number of reports by intensityShaking intensityNumber of reportsMin-Max distance from epicenter (*)Average distance (*)I: Not felt471–805 km (44–500 mi)415 km (258 mi)II: Very weak shaking10104–258 km (65–160 mi)135 km (84 mi)III: Weak shaking526.2–276 km (3.9–172 mi)90 km (56 mi)IV: Light shaking561.2–266 km (0.7–165 mi)105 km (65 mi)V: Moderate shaking221–25 km (12.9–15.8 mi)23 km (14 mi)VI: Strong shaking118.6–18.6 km (11.5–11.5 mi)18.6 km (12 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (136 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.I didn't feel itI felt this quakeIf you were near the epicenter and felt it, please share your experience and submit a short "I felt it" report!

When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 6 km2 (2 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 4 km (3 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Sep 22, 2025 04:20 am (GMT +3)15 minutes ago - felt4.812 km0 km - This quake11 km WNW From Karyes Agio OrosMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 55 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 1,300 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.09 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 11.4 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 0.41 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 2.5 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 5.2 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 56 quakes per year (or 4.7 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 411 quakes per year (or 34.2 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 1,200 quakes per year (or 3.3 quakes per day)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity.
