Earthquakes in Ukraine

No events have been recorded in Ukraine in the past 30 days, of which 5 reached magnitude 4 or above, the point at which shaking becomes widely noticeable. Activity here is almost entirely crustal, which means shaking at the surface is strong relative to the magnitudes involved.

5 earthquakes have been recorded in Ukraine in our catalogue, 0 of them in the past 30 days.

The average magnitude is 4.3 and the average focal depth 18 km. 5 events reached magnitude 4 or above, but none reached magnitude 5.

The strongest earthquake recorded in Ukraine in this period was a magnitude 4.8 event near Mysovoe, Ukraine on 02 February 2026, at a depth of 10 km. A magnitude 4.8 earthquake radiates roughly 239 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

Locations recording the most events include Balaklava (2), Sevastopol (1), Zavetnoye (1), Mysovoe (1).

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 5 in the magnitude 4 range.

The busiest single day was 22 June 2026, with 2 recorded events.

No event in this record carries a USGS link to NOAA tsunami information.

Frequently asked questions

How many earthquakes have there been in Ukraine?

5 earthquakes are recorded in Ukraine in our catalogue, including 0 in the past 30 days and 5 of magnitude 4 or above.

What was the biggest earthquake in Ukraine?

The largest recorded here was a magnitude 4.8 event near Mysovoe, Ukraine on 02 February 2026.

Is Ukraine at risk of earthquakes?

Earthquake hazard depends on proximity to active faults and plate boundaries rather than on national borders. The record for Ukraine shows 5 events of magnitude 4 or above, which is the band at which shaking becomes widely noticeable. Consult your national seismic hazard agency for building-code and preparedness guidance.
