On August 13, 2026 at 02:33 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 30 km W of Deir ez-Zor, Syria, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 35.3830°, 39.8074°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 21 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 406 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
