Just 7 minutes ago, a 4.9-magnitude earthquake struck near Torbat-e Heydariyeh, Razavi Khorasan Province, Iran. The tremor was recorded early morning on Thursday, May 1st, 2025, at 4:40 am local time, at a shallow depth of 10. km below the surface.
The event was filed by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.9 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 Torbat-e Heydariyeh (pop. 125,600) located 59 km from the epicenter, Torbat-e Jam (pop. 58,900) 72 km away, and Taybad (pop. 37,500) 96 km away.
