A magnitude 3.2 earthquake near Royan, Charente-Maritime, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, was reported only 6 minutes ago by France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in this part of the world. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 5. km beneath the epicenter early morning on Thursday, May 22nd, 2025, at 5:23 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 report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.2 as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Les Mathes (pop. 1,600) located 15 km from the epicenter, Saint-Palais-sur-Mer (pop. 3,700) 17 km away, La Tremblade (pop. 5,000) 19 km away, Vaux-sur-Mer (pop. 3,700) 20 km away, Royan (pop. 19,000) 22 km away, and Saint-Georges-de-Didonne (pop. 5,400) 25 km away. In Rochefort (pop. 29,400, 43 km away), Saintes (pop. 29,500, 54 km away), and La Rochelle (pop. 76,800, 59 km away), the quake was probably not felt.

A moderately shallow magnitude 6.0 earthquake was reported early morning near Irakleion, Heraklion, Crete, Greece.
According to the National Observatory of Athens (NOA), the quake hit on Thursday, May 22nd, 2025, at 6:19 am local time at a moderately shallow depth of 36.50 km. 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 Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) which listed the quake at magnitude 6.1. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 6.3, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 6.5, and The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 6.1.
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.
In Sitia (pop. 8,700) located 59 km from the epicenter, Agios Nikolaos (pop. 11,400) 60 km away, Nea Alikarnassos (pop. 12,900) 78 km away, Ierapetra (pop. 12,400) 79 km away, Irakleion (pop. 137,200) 80 km away, Gazi (pop. 12,600) 86 km away,
