Georgia: Magnitude-4.9 earthquake occurs Oni at around 02:03 June 4

A magnitude-4.9 earthquake occurred in Georgia's Oni Municipality at around 02:03 June 4. The epicenter was about 15 km (9 miles) southeast of Oni, Georgia. The tremor occurred at a depth of about 8 km (5 miles), and shaking was probably felt in Georgia as well as northwest Azerbaijan, northwest Armenia, far south Russia, and northeast Turkey. There have been no initial reports of damage or casualties as a result of the earthquake; significant damage is unlikely. It could take several hours until authorities can conduct comprehensive damage assessments, especially in remote areas. Aftershocks are possible over the coming days.

Officials may temporarily shut down transport infrastructure in the tremor zone to check for damage. Minor disruptions could occur during shutdowns, but service will likely resume quickly if no damage is found. Utility outages are possible, particularly near the earthquake's epicenter.
