2.7 quake 30 Nov 5:33 pm (GMT +1)

A magnitude 2.7 earthquake near Rijeka, Primorsko-Goranska Županija, Croatia, was reported only 21 minutes ago by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 4 km beneath the epicenter in the afternoon on Wednesday, November 30th, 2022, at 5:33 pm 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 2.7 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 Porto Re (pop. 2,900) located 4 km from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Buccari (pop. 1,600) located 4 km from the epicenter, Krasica (pop. 1,400) 5 km away, Škrljevo (pop. 1,300) 6 km away, Omišalj (pop. 1,900) 7 km away, Rijeka (pop. 141,200) 9 km away, Drenova (pop. 7,600) 11 km away, Crkvenica (pop. 7,200) 17 km away, and Opatija (pop. 7,900) 18 km away.
