Moderate magnitude 4.7 quake hits 75 km north of Tirana, Albania late at night
4.7 quake 14 Jan 10:37 pm (GMT +1)

An earthquake of magnitude 4.7 occurred late at night on Friday, January 14th, 2022, at 10:37 pm local time near Tirana, Tirana District, Albania, as reported by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.3.
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 Tirana (pop. 374,800) located 75 km from the epicenter.
