An earthquake of magnitude 3.7 occurred around noon on Wednesday, April 23rd, 2025, at 12:59 pm local time near Tekirdag, Turkey, as reported by The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 10. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.4. A third agency, The Seismological Survey of Serbia (SSS), reported the same quake at magnitude 4.6.
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 Kumbag (pop. 2,100) located 12 km from the epicenter, and Tekirdag (pop. 122,300) 12 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Corlu (pop. 202,600) located 34 km from the epicenter, Cerkezkoey (pop. 84,200)
