On April 2, 2024 at 19:07 UTC, a magnitude 4.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 21 km ENE of Bileća, Bosnia and Herzegovina, at a depth of 13.1 km and coordinates 42.9741°, 18.6532°.
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.
