The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 4.9 earthquake in Greece near Volos, Magnesia, Thessaly, just 3 minutes ago. The earthquake struck around noon on Friday, October 30th, 2026, at 12:45 pm local time and at a shallow depth of 13 km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the earthquake might 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.Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake, which listed the earthquake at magnitude 4.6. Other agencies reporting the same earthquake include the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH), at magnitude 4.5; the National Observatory of Athens (NOA), at magnitude 4.6; and the Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA), at magnitude 4.7.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the earthquake should not have caused any significant damage but was probably felt by many people as light vibrations in the area of the epicenter. Weak shaking might have been felt in Sykia (pop. 1,900), located 48 km from the epicenter; Neos Marmaras (pop. 3,200), 61 km away; Myrina (pop. 5,400), 72 km away; Volos (pop. 86,000), 118 km away; and Nea Ionia (pop. 32,700), 119 km away.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the magnitude and depth if they change and follow up if other significant news about the earthquake becomes available.
