A magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck 153 km from Abepura, Indonesia, near the epicenters of devastating M7.0 quakes from 2015 and 2013, according to USGS data.
A shallow magnitude-5.3 earthquake struck 33 km northwest of Barishal, Pakistan, at just 10 km depth, amplifying ground shaking in the seismically active Himalayan belt.
A magnitude 5.5 earthquake struck 156 km below Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua, shaking the capital region without causing a tsunami. Learn about this deep subduction zone event.
A magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck 122 km east of Yamada, Japan, at a shallow depth of 9.5 km. Learn why this region remains seismically volatile and what residents should watch for next.
A magnitude 4.9 earthquake struck just 23 km from the 2009 M7.8 epicenter near Vanuatu, highlighting persistent seismic stress in the Pacific’s volatile New Hebrides subduction zone.
A rare magnitude 4.5 earthquake struck 538 kilometers beneath the South Pacific, revealing intense fracturing within the subducting Pacific Plate as it sinks into the mantle transition zone near Fiji.
A magnitude 4.9 earthquake struck 86 km beneath the Solomon Islands, highlighting the region’s complex subduction tectonics and contrasting with the devastating shallow quakes of the past.
A rare deep-focus earthquake struck 550 kilometers beneath the Flores Sea, contrasting with the shallow destructive quakes that have historically devastated this Indonesian region.
A shallow magnitude 5.0 earthquake struck just 10 kilometers deep off Indonesia’s Sulawesi coast near Kendari, occurring in the same seismically active region that produced a destructive M7.5 temblor in 2001.
A magnitude 4.9 earthquake struck 10 km east of Ouranoupolis, Greece at shallow depth, rattling the gateway to Mount Athos as part of an active week-long seismic swarm in the North Aegean.
