A very shallow magnitude 4.3 earthquake was reported late at night near Bāfq, Bafgh, Yazd, Iran.
According to the Iranian Seismological Center (IRSC), the quake hit on Sunday 3 January 2021 at 10:28 pm local time 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.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Bāfq (pop. 31,200) located 73 km from the epicenter.
