4.2 quake 29 km west of Dali, Yunnan, China, 18 May 2021 9:39 pm (GMT +8)

An earthquake of magnitude 4.2 occurred in the evening on Tuesday 18 May 2021 at 9:39 pm local time near Dali, Yunnan, China, as reported by the China Earthquake Networks Center (CEIC).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of 8 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Dali (pop. 134,000) located 29 km from the epicenter.

5.3 quake 17 May 5:24 am (GMT +4:30)

An earthquake of magnitude 5.3 occurred only 12 minutes ago 47 km west of Bojnourd, Iran, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10 km beneath the epicenter near Bojnourd, North Khorasan, Iran, early morning on Monday 17 May 2021 at 4:54 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 5.5 earthquake. A third agency, France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.5.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Bojnourd (pop. 192,000) located 47 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Esfarāyen (pop. 59,700) located 76 km from the epicenter, Shīrvān (pop. 82,800) 100 km away, and Kalāleh (pop. 33,700) 116 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

5.3 quake 17 May 3:34 am (GMT +4:30)

A shallow magnitude 5.3 earthquake was reported early morning near Bojnourd, North Khorasan, Iran.
According to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the quake hit on Monday 17 May 2021 at 3:04 am local time at a shallow depth of 10 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.5.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Bojnourd (pop. 192,000) located 41 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Esfarāyen (pop. 59,700) located 68 km from the epicenter, Shīrvān (pop. 82,800) 94 km away, and Kalāleh (pop. 33,700) 122 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
