A very shallow magnitude 3.5 earthquake was reported in the afternoon near Glogow, Głogów County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the quake hit on Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026, at 5:53 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 5. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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.A second report was later issued by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 3.4 earthquake.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter. Weak shaking might have been felt in Jerzmanowa (pop. 600) located 4 km from the epicenter, Polkowice (pop. 21,600) 7 km away, and Glogow (pop. 65,400) 10 km away.Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Lubin (pop. 77,500) located 20 km from the epicenter, Nowa Sol (pop. 40,400) 37 km away, Legnica (pop. 106,000) 40 km away, Leszno (pop. 63,600) 45 km away, and Boleslawiec (pop. 40,700) 50 km away.
