Magnitude 3.2 earthquake strikes near Sidon, Saida, South Governorate, Lebanon
3.2 quake 21 Feb 4:23 am (GMT +2)

A shallow magnitude 3.2 earthquake was reported early morning near Sidon, Saida, South Governorate, Lebanon.
According to the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, the quake hit on Tuesday, February 21st, 2023, at 4:23 am local time at a shallow depth of 10 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. Magnitude and other quake parameters can still change in the coming hours as the agency continues to process seismic data.
A second report was later issued by the Kandilli Oservatory and Earthquake Research Institute in Istanbul (KOERI-RETMC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.6 earthquake.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Sidon (pop. 163,600, 46 km away), Ghazieh (pop. 50,000, 47 km away), Tyros (pop. 135,200, 56 km away), Beirut (pop. 1,916,100, 57 km away), Habboûch (pop. 98,400, 63 km away), En Nâqoûra (pop. 24,900, 70 km away), and Jounieh (pop. 96,300, 70 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
