A magnitude 4.8 earthquake near Bandar-e Deyr, Bushehr, Iran, was reported just 9 minutes ago by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), one of the key international agencies monitoring seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter shortly after midnight on Sunday, November 1st, 2026, at 12:20 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake may be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.1 earthquake. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake with a magnitude of 5.1.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, apart from objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc. Weak shaking might have been felt in Abdan (pop. 6,800), located 22 km from the epicenter; Bardestan (pop. 7,100), 50 km away; Bandar-e Deyr (pop. 24,100), 50 km away; Jam (pop. 31,400), 83 km away; Maku (pop. 46,600), 91 km away; Farrashband (pop. 20,300), 95 km away; and Bushehr (pop. 165,400), 116 km away.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the magnitude and depth if they change and follow up if other significant news about the quake becomes available.
