A magnitude 4.8 earthquake near Buzau, Municipiul Buzău, Romania, was reported only 8 minutes ago by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), considered one of the key international agencies monitoring seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at an intermediate depth of 130. km beneath the epicenter in the morning on Monday, October 19th, 2026, at 11:51 am 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 reports.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.7 earthquake. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 4.7.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Nehoiu (pop. 11,400), located 9 km from the epicenter; Sacele (pop. 29,900), 51 km away; Buzau (pop. 103,500), 54 km away; Ramnicu Sarat (pop. 38,500), 57 km away; Targu Secuiesc (pop. 20,100), 58 km away; Brasov (pop. 253,200), 60 km away; Campina (pop. 41,600), 63 km away; Tecuci (pop. 41,200), 93 km away; and Targoviste (pop. 67,000), 94 km away.
