Earthquakes in Bosnia and Herzegovina — February 2026

2 earthquakes were recorded in Bosnia and Herzegovina during February 2026, an average of 0.1 per day.

2 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 19 km.

The month's largest event in Bosnia and Herzegovina was a magnitude 4.6 earthquake near Livno, Bosnia and Herzegovina on 17 February 2026 at 16:31 UTC. A magnitude 4.6 earthquake radiates roughly 120 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is well above the Bosnia and Herzegovina monthly average of 1 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month.

100% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). Almost everything here is crustal. That is characteristic of transform faulting or continental deformation rather than subduction — and it means shaking at the surface is strong for the magnitudes involved.

By band, the catalogue holds 2 in the magnitude 4 range.

The month's largest events were M4.6 near Livno, Bosnia and Herzegovina on 17 February at 27 km; M4.0 near Vitina, Bosnia and Herzegovina on 23 February at 10 km.

That is 67% above the 1 events Bosnia and Herzegovina averages per month across the 5 months on record.

This month also holds the strongest earthquake recorded in Bosnia and Herzegovina in our entire catalogue.
