Small magnitude 3.9 earthquake hits near Hastings, Hastings District, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand

An earthquake of magnitude 3.9 occurred just 13 minutes ago, 10 km southeast of Hastings, New Zealand, according to New Zealand's Earthquake Commission and Geological Survey (GeoNet).
The quake struck at a moderately shallow depth of 39.10 km beneath the epicenter near Hastings, Hastings District, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, on the evening of Thursday, September 24th, 2026, at 9:49 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 the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed the quake at magnitude 3.8.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Havelock North (pop. 14,900), located 6 km from the epicenter; Hastings (pop. 89,200), 10 km away; Haumoana (pop. 1,200), 14 km away; Clive (pop. 2,100), 16 km away; Onekawa (pop. 7,300), 24 km away; Napier (pop. 66,800), 26 km away; and Bay View (pop. 2,400), 34 km away.

Moderate magnitude 4.1 quake hits 31 miles southeast of Midland, Texas, United States, early morning

The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 4.1 quake in the United States near Midland, Midland County, Texas, only 15 minutes ago. The earthquake struck early Thursday morning, September 24, 2026, at 3:36 am local time, at a very shallow depth of 3 miles. 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 reports.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which also listed it as a magnitude 4.1 earthquake.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage but was probably felt by many people as light vibrations in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Garden City (pop. 330), located 20 miles from the epicenter; Midland (pop. 132,500), 31 miles away; Stanton (pop. 2,900), 33 miles away; Big Lake (pop. 3,300), 36 miles away; Odessa (pop. 114,400), 40 miles away; and Crane (pop. 3,900), 42 miles away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Big Spring (pop. 28,900), located 43 miles from the epicenter, and West Odessa (pop. 22,700), 48 miles away.

Significant magnitude 5.8 earthquake 28 km north of Sanliurfa, Turkey

The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 5.8 earthquake in Turkey near Sanliurfa just 4 minutes ago. The earthquake struck on Thursday morning, September 24th, 2026, at 10:40 am local time, at a very shallow depth of 8. km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the earthquake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the earthquake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Bozova (pop. 21,500), located 20 km from the epicenter; Hilvan (pop. 17,000), 27 km away; Sanliurfa (pop. 449,500), 28 km away; Kahta (pop. 97,900), 43 km away; Suruc (pop. 101,200), 56 km away; and Siverek (pop. 175,300), 63 km away.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Birecik (pop. 44,300), located 80 km from the epicenter; Viransehir (pop. 154,200), 92 km away; and Gaziantep (pop. 2,130,400), 127 km away.

Moderate magnitude 4.0 earthquake reported 58 miles north of Anchorage, Alaska, United States

A moderately shallow magnitude 4.0 earthquake was reported in the afternoon near Anchorage, Alaska, USA.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake struck on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2026, at 5:27 pm local time, at a moderately shallow depth of 34 miles. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed the quake at magnitude 3.8.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Susitna North (pop. 1,300), located 8 miles from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Fishhook (pop. 4,700), located 27 miles from the epicenter; Meadow Lakes (pop. 7,600), 30 miles away; Tanaina (pop. 8,200), 31 miles away; Lakes (pop. 8,400), 34 miles away; Wasilla (pop. 9,300), 34 miles away; Knik-Fairview (pop. 14,900), 38 miles away; Eagle River (pop. 24,800), 51 miles away; and Eagle River (pop. 24,800), 51 miles away. In Anchorage (pop. 289,600, 58 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.

Magnitude 4.7 earthquake strikes near Sarmi, Sarmi Regency, Provinsi Papua, Indonesia

A shallow magnitude 4.7 earthquake was reported in the morning near Sarmi, Sarmi Regency, Provinsi Papua, Indonesia.
According to Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the quake struck on Thursday, September 24th, 2026, at 9:26 am local time, at a shallow depth of 10. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones because they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake, which also listed it as a magnitude 4.7 earthquake.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but it was probably felt by many people as light vibrations in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Sarmi (pop. 14,100), located 34 km from the epicenter.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the magnitude and depth if they change and follow up if other significant news about the quake becomes available.
