Magnitude 3.2 earthquake strikes near Athens, Nomarchía Athínas, Attica, Greece

An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 occurred late at night on Thursday, August 7th, 2025, at 10:16 pm local time near Athens, Nomarchía Athínas, Attica, Greece, as reported by the National Observatory of Athens (NOA).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 5. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.0. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 3.5, The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) at magnitude 3.2, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 3.3.
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 Moni Agiou Nikolaou (pop. 13) located 3 km from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Chalkida (pop. 59,100) located 30 km from the epicenter. In Kifissia (pop. 47,300, 43 km away), Acharnes (pop. 99,300, 44 km away), Marousi (pop. 72,300, 46 km away), Nea Ionia (pop. 67,100, 48 km away), Chalandri (pop. 74,200, 48 km away), Agia Paraskevi (pop. 59,700, 49 km away), Athens (pop. 664,000, 55 km away), and Piraeus (pop. 163,700, 62 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
