4.6 quake 8 Sep 1:28 pm (GMT +2)

An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 occurred around noon on Wednesday, September 8th, 2021, at 1:28 pm local time near Zenica, Federation of B&H, Bosnia & Herzegovina, as reported by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located 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.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 4.2 earthquake.
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 Željezno Polje (pop. 5,800) located 4 km from the epicenter, and Zenica (pop. 164,400) 21 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
