Wait 5 sec.

A magnitude 3.3 earthquake near Polkowice, Polkowice County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland, was reported only 3 minutes ago by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter early morning on Friday, June 13th, 2025, at 6:51 am local time. 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.Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 3.3 as well.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 Polkowice (pop. 21,600) located 2 km from the epicenter.Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Lubin (pop. 77,500) located 16 km from the epicenter, Glogow (pop. 67,300) 16 km away, Legnica (pop. 106,000) 35 km away, and Nowa Sol (pop. 40,400) 40 km away.
