Small 3.7 quake hits near Lubin, Lubin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported a magnitude 3.7 quake in Poland near Lubin, Lubin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, only 3 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the afternoon on Saturday, October 18th, 2025, at 4:59 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10. km. 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 3.7 earthquake as well.
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 Polkowice (pop. 21,600) located 3 km from the epicenter, and Lubin (pop. 77,500) 13 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Glogow (pop. 67,300) located 20 km from the epicenter, Legnica (pop. 106,000) 31 km away, Zlotoryja (pop. 15,600) 41 km away, Boleslawiec (pop. 40,700) 42 km away, Nowa Sol (pop. 40,400) 43 km away, and Jawor (pop. 23,900) 49 km away. In Wroclaw (pop. 634,900, 79 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
