Just 4 minutes ago, a 5.4-magnitude earthquake struck near Kalamata, Messenia, Peloponnese, Greece. The tremor was recorded in the evening on Sunday, June 14th, 2026, at 9:17 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 12.70 km below the surface.The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 5.4 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The Seismological Survey of Serbia (SSS) at magnitude 5.1, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.4, The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 5.0, and The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) at magnitude 5.1.Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.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 Pylos (pop. 2,300) located 19 km from the epicenter, Chora (pop. 3,500) 34 km away, Petalidi (pop. 2,600) 35 km away, Gargalianoi (pop. 6,300) 35 km away, Filiatra (pop. 7,000) 45 km away, Messini (pop. 6,800) 47 km away, and Kalamata (pop. 54,100) 53 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.Weak shaking might have been felt in Sparti (pop. 16,200) located 79 km from the epicenter.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
