4.3 quake 10 Apr 2:58 am (GMT +2)

An earthquake of magnitude 4.3 occurred only 11 minutes ago 31 km northwest of Kukës, Albania, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10 km beneath the epicenter near Kukës, Kukës District, Qarku i Kukësit, Albania, early morning on Sunday, April 10th, 2022, at 2:58 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.3 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the National Observatory of Athens (NOA) at magnitude 3.9, and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 4.1.
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.
