Several minor earthquakes occurred in eastern Hungary on Saturday, the disaster management authority told MTI.

At 11.13am, an earthquake registering a 4 on the Richter scale was reported near the town of Gyomaendrőd, in the southeast, the National Directorate of Disaster Management said, citing a report by the Kövesligeti Radó Seismology Observatory.

The tremor was felt in several nearby settlements, but so far the disaster management authority has received no reports of damage.

A few minutes later, another 4.0 magnitude earthquake was registered near Túrkeve in the east, with the tremors again being felt in nearby towns.

At 12.51pm, the observatory registered a 2.8 magnitude earthquake near the south-eastern town of Szarvas.
