Magnitude 4.8 earthquake strikes near Nicosia, Cyprus 4.8 quake 6 Feb 3:18 am (GMT +2) A shallow magnitude 4.8 earthquake was reported early morning near Nicosia, Cyprus.
According to the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, the quake hit on Monday, February 6th, 2023, at 3:18 am local time at a shallow depth of 12.6 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.
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 Trikomo (pop. 4,500) located 3 km from the epicenter, Lefkonoiko (pop. 3,200) 15 km away, and Famagusta (pop. 42,500) 22 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Derýneia (pop. 5,200) located 29 km from the epicenter, Paralimni (pop. 11,800) 32 km away, Pergamos (pop. 15,000) 34 km away, Protaras (pop. 20,200) 37 km away, Nicosia (pop. 200,500) 50 km away, and Strovolos (pop. 67,900) 53 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Limassol (pop. 154,000) located 104 km from the epicenter.
