2026-07-29 05:52:33 UTC (2026-07-29) · approx. 6:52 AM UTC+1 local
On July 29, 2026 at 05:52 UTC, a magnitude 4.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 10 km ESE of Cërrik, Albania, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 41.0107°, 20.1019°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 15 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 347 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
