"It is a relatively large earthquake by both Danish and Swedish standards," Björn Lund, senior lecturer in seismology at the Department of Geosciences at Uppsala University, told the newspaper.

The earthquake, which was also reportedly felt in Norway, occurred at 4:15 p.m., with the epicenter at Køge, south of Copenhagen.

The Danish Geological Survey Geus said in a press release that the magnitude of the earthquake was 3.9. This makes it, according to Ritzau, the strongest earthquake in Denmark since 2012, when a quake measured 4.3.

There have been no reports of any damage from the quake.
