Magnitude 3.3 earthquake strikes near Lubin, Lubin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

A magnitude 3.3 earthquake near Lubin, Lubin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland, was reported only 2 minutes ago by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter in the afternoon on Tuesday, February 24th, 2026, at 5:46 pm 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 German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 3.2 earthquake.
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 Lubin (pop. 77,500) located 5 km from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Polkowice (pop. 21,600) located 9 km from the epicenter, Legnica (pop. 106,000) 25 km away, Glogow (pop. 65,400) 26 km away, and Zlotoryja (pop. 15,600) 37 km away. In Jawor (pop. 23,900, 42 km away), Boleslawiec (pop. 40,700, 44 km away), Leszno (pop. 63,600, 55 km away), and Wroclaw (pop. 634,900, 72 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
