An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 occurred around noon on Thursday, August 7th, 2025, at 12:49 pm local time near Kalamata, Messenia, Peloponnese, Greece, as reported by the National Observatory of Athens (NOA).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 5. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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 Seismological Survey of Serbia (SSS), which listed it as a magnitude 4.4 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 4.7, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 4.5, The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 4.4, The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) at magnitude 4.6, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 4.5.
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.
