An earthquake with a magnitude of 3.6, which was felt in Odesa region, was recorded in the seismically active Vrancha zone (Romania) at 10:14 a.m.
According to the National Institute for Research and Development of Earth Physics, the tremors occurred at a depth of 129 kilometers.
The earthquake occurred near the following cities: 37 km west of Focsana, 62 km north of Buzau, 73 km east of Sfantu Gheorghe, 85 km east of Brasov, 95 km southwest of Barlad, 97 km south of Baqueu, 99 km northeast of Ploiesti.
The seismic activity in the Vrancea zone is one of the highest in Europe, and this region regularly records medium and high magnitude tremors. Despite the relatively low magnitude, the earthquake could have been felt in the neighboring regions of Romania, Moldova, and Ukraine.
