A shallow magnitude 2.9 earthquake was reported around noon near Chrzanow, Chrzanów County, Lesser Poland, Poland.
According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the quake hit on Tuesday, April 15th, 2025, at 12:48 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. Magnitude and other quake parameters can still change in the coming hours as the agency continues to process seismic data.
