Moderate magnitude 4.4 quake hits 58 km northeast of Chosica, Peru early evening

A magnitude 4.4 earthquake near Chosica, Lima, Lima region, Peru, was reported only 27 minutes ago by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter early evening on Thursday, February 26th, 2026, at 6:21 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from The Colombian Geological Service (SGC) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.8. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.4.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Marcapomacocha (pop. 360) located 14 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in La Oroya (pop. 33,300) located 55 km from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Chosica (pop. 88,600) located 58 km from the epicenter, Junin (pop. 15,300) 60 km away, Tarma (pop. 51,400) 79 km away, Santa Anita - Los Ficus (pop. 184,600) 86 km away, Lima (pop. 7,737,000) 90 km away, San Francisco De Borja (pop. 105,100) 91 km away, Brena (pop. 81,900) 93 km away, and Callao (pop. 1,300,000) 99 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you’re in the area, please send us your experience through our reporting mechanism, either online or via our mobile app. This will help us provide more first-hand updates to anyone around the globe who wants to know more about this quake.

Moderate magnitude 4.3 quake hits 24 km northeast of Gangtok, India early morning

The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 4.3 quake in India near Gangtok, Gangtok district, Sikkim, only 17 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Friday, February 27th, 2026, at 3:40 am local time at an intermediate depth of 84. km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by India's National Center for Seismology (NCS), which listed it as a magnitude 3.7 earthquake.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Mangan (pop. 4,600) located 22 km from the epicenter, Gangtok (pop. 100,300) 24 km away, Rangpo (pop. 10,500) 42 km away, Kalimpong (pop. 43,000) 55 km away, Darjiling (pop. 123,800) 71 km away, Kurseong (pop. 46,400) 83 km away, Thimphu (pop. 98,700) 89 km away, Siliguri (pop. 515,600) 94 km away, Goyerkata (pop. 66,400) 94 km away, and Jaigaon (pop. 158,700) 97 km away.
