The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported a magnitude 5.1 quake in Azerbaijan near Xaçmaz, Khachmaz, Khachmaz Rayon, only 10 minutes ago. The earthquake hit late at night on Monday, July 3rd, 2023, at 11:01 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10 km. 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.3 earthquake. 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 Xudat (pop. 13,600) located 63 km from the epicenter, Xaçmaz (pop. 37,200) 65 km away, Belidzhi (pop. 16,100) 78 km away, Dǝvǝçi (pop. 23,200) 82 km away, Cali (pop. 106,000) 91 km away, and Qusar (pop. 16,000) 92 km away.
