Moderate 4.2 quake hits near Lushnje, Bashkia Lushnje, Qarku i Fierit, Albania Just 12 minutes ago, a 4.2-magnitude earthquake struck near Lushnje, Bashkia Lushnje, Qarku i Fierit, Albania. The tremor was recorded in the evening on Tuesday, February 24th, 2026, at 8:00 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 10. km below the surface.
The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by The Seismological Survey of Serbia (SSS), which listed it as a magnitude 4.2 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the National Observatory of Athens (NOA) at magnitude 4.1, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 4.2, The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) at magnitude 4.1, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 4.2, and The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 3.9.
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 Golem (pop. 7,000) located 6 km from the epicenter, Peqin (pop. 16,600) 6 km away, and Lushnje (pop. 63,100) 7 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Kucove (pop. 31,100) located 25 km from the epicenter, Kavaje (pop. 30,000) 27 km away, Fier (pop. 56,300) 34 km away, Patos (pop. 16,000) 36 km away, Tirana (pop. 418,500) 38 km away, and Patos Fshat (pop. 22,700) 39 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Durres (pop. 195,900) located 45 km from the epicenter.
