The Kövesligethy Radó Seismological Observatory posted on its Facebook page that many people in Zala, Somogy and Baranya counties felt it. The epicenter of the earthquake was approximately 100 km from the border with Hungary, and damage is unlikely in Hungary due to the distance. The epicenter may have been in Petrinja, Croatia, according to a Google map.
