Just 18 minutes ago, a 3.0-magnitude earthquake struck near Kalamata, Messenia, Peloponnese, Greece. The tremor was recorded early morning on Wednesday, June 21st, 2023, at 1:36 am local time, at a shallow depth 10 km below the surface.
The event was filed by the National Observatory of Athens (NOA), the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which also listed the quake at magnitude 3.0. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 3.0.
