An earthquake of magnitude 2.9 occurred in the morning on Tuesday, June 23rd, 2026, at 8:14 am local time near Corfu, Kérkyra, Ionian Islands, Greece, as reported by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 15. 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 Seismological Survey of Serbia (SSS), which listed it as a magnitude 2.6 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the National Observatory of Athens (NOA) at magnitude 2.8, The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 2.7, The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) at magnitude 2.8, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 2.8.Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Corfu (pop. 40,000) located 5 km from the epicenter, Alepou (pop. 3,100) 7 km away, Kanali (pop. 4,100) 8 km away, Potamos (pop. 3,800) 8 km away, Perama (pop. 1000) 9 km away, Kontokali (pop. 1,700) 10 km away, and Viros (pop. 1,200) 10 km away.
