The ground shook at the Croatian River, the earthquake was felt in Slovenia

A magnitude 3.3 earthquake was recorded early in the morning near the town of Reka in Croatia. The seismic event was felt in several areas of southern Slovenia, including the municipalities of Krsko, Novo Mesto, Trebnje, Cermelj, and Postojna. According to the Seismological Office of the Agency for Environment of the Republic of Slovenia, the epicenter was located 30 kilometers east of Reka at a depth of 11 kilometers. Initial assessments suggest that the intensity of the earthquake in Slovenia did not exceed IV on the EMS-98 scale.

A magnitude 3.3 earthquake struck near the town of Rijeka in Croatia early Monday morning, triggering tremors that were felt in parts of southern Slovenia. Seismographs from the national seismic monitoring network recorded the event at 1:20 a.m., according to the Seismological Office at the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for the Environment. The epicenter was located 30 kilometers east of Rijeka at a depth of 11 kilometers. Officials assessed that the intensity of the shaking in Slovenia did not exceed level IV on the European Macroseismic Scale (EMS-98). Residents in certain areas of southern Slovenia reported feeling the tremors. These included communities in the municipalities of Krško, Novo mesto, Trebnje, Črnomelj, and Postojna. While the earthquake was noticeable, its effects were relatively mild, with no reports of injuries or structural damage. The Seismological Office emphasized that the impact remained within the lower end of the scale, indicating minimal disruption to daily life. The earthquake occurred in a region known for moderate seismic activity, though it is not among the most active fault zones in Europe. The Croatian coast, including the area around Rijeka, lies along the boundary of the Adriatic microplate, which occasionally experiences smaller quakes due to tectonic stress. This particular event, while not uncommon, served as a reminder of the ongoing geological processes shaping the region. In addition to the earthquake near Rijeka, another minor tremor of magnitude 2.1 was recorded earlier in the day near the village of Breginj in western Slovenia. This event took place at 7:43 p.m. local time on Sunday, August 2nd. According to the Seismological Office, the quake was felt by some residents in Kobarid and surrounding areas. However, the intensity of this tremor was estimated to have reached no higher than level III on the EMS-98 scale, further underscoring the generally low risk posed by such events in the region. The occurrence of these two earthquakes within a short period has prompted increased attention from both local authorities and the public. The Seismological Office has urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any unusual ground movements or potential damage. They also encourage individuals who experienced either event to complete a questionnaire available through their website, providing valuable data for assessing the impact of such occurrences on different communities. While the recent quakes were not severe enough to cause widespread concern, they highlight the importance of preparedness and awareness regarding seismic risks. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, ensuring that all necessary precautions are taken should more significant activity occur in the future. For now, the focus remains on gathering detailed information about each event to better understand their causes and possible implications for the region’s infrastructure and population.
