3.0 quake 13 Nov 11:03 am (GMT +1)

A magnitude 3.0 earthquake near Rijeka, Primorsko-Goranska Zupanija, Croatia, was reported only 9 minutes ago by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 2 km beneath the epicenter in the morning on Wednesday, November 13th, 2024, at 11:03 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.
A second report was later issued by The Seismology Office of the Slovenian Environment Agency (ARSO), which listed it as a magnitude 3.0 earthquake as well.
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 Saršoni (pop. 1,700) located 1 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
