A shallow magnitude 5.1 earthquake struck 21 km SSE of Erciş, Turkey, just kilometers from the 2011 M7.1 Van earthquake epicenter, amid an ongoing seismic swarm of 33 tremors.
A shallow 5.2-magnitude earthquake strikes 13 km from the 2011 Van disaster epicenter, marking the strongest tremor in a week-long swarm of 32 quakes in eastern Turkey.
A magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck 111 km east-southeast of Bitung, Indonesia, at a depth of nearly 49 kilometers. Here’s what the depth means for shaking intensity and why this region remains one of Earth’s most active seismic zones.
A magnitude 5.8 earthquake struck 186 km beneath Afghanistan’s Hindu Kush region, just 9 km from the deadly 2023 M6.5 epicenter, highlighting ongoing seismic risks from the subducting Indian Plate.
A magnitude 5.5 earthquake struck just 49 km from Rasht, Tajikistan at a dangerously shallow depth of 10 km, significantly increasing potential damage to nearby communities in this seismically active region.
A magnitude 5.8 aftershock struck the Molucca Sea near Ternate, Indonesia, marking the 38th earthquake in just seven days following a powerful M7.8 mainshock.
A magnitude 5.9 aftershock struck Indonesia’s North Maluku province, continuing a violent seismic swarm that has produced 36 earthquakes in one week near a fault system with eight magnitude-7 disasters since 1986.
A magnitude 5.4 earthquake struck 58 km southwest of Masachapa, Nicaragua, just 17 km from the destructive 2022 M6.6 epicenter, raising questions about ongoing seismic risk along this volatile subduction zone.
A magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck deep beneath Timor Leste, just 30 km from the devastating 2021 M7.3 epicenter. At 169 km depth, the event reveals the complex vertical anatomy of one of Earth’s most active subduction zones.
A shallow magnitude 5.1 earthquake struck near San Nicolás, Mexico, at just 10 km depth, occurring weeks after a M6.5 event in a region capable of magnitude 7+ quakes.
