On August 1, 2021 at 21:07 UTC, a magnitude 3.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck 5 km ENE of Ka?anik, Kosovo, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 42.2506°, 21.3256°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 1.3 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 114 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
