Moderate magnitude 4.6 earthquake 11 km northwest of Miki, Japan

An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 occurred in the evening on Wednesday, March 25th, 2026, at 8:31 pm local time near Miki, Miki Shi, Hyōgo, Japan, as reported by Japan's National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 18. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as 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 data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
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 Yashiro (pop. 21,600) located 2 km from the epicenter, Ono (pop. 47,600) 6 km away, Kato (pop. 40,600) 7 km away, Nishiwaki (pop. 38,700) 9 km away, Kasai (pop. 42,700) 11 km away, and Miki (pop. 75,500) 11 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Kakogawacho-honmachi (pop. 271,600) located 19 km from the epicenter, Kobe (pop. 1,525,200) 31 km away, and Osaka (pop. 2,753,900) 55 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

Magnitude 5.2 earthquake strikes near Hihifo, Niuas, Tonga

An intermediate to deep magnitude 5.2 earthquake was reported late at night near Hihifo, Niuas, Tonga.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Wednesday, March 25th, 2026, at 11:17 pm local time at an intermediate to considerable depth of 198.05 km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.2 as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Hihifo (pop. 300) located 80 km from the epicenter, and Vaipoa (pop. 170) 81 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

In Casano-Dogana-Isola (pop. 6,700) located 2 km from the epicenter, Marina di Carrara (pop. 25,000) 3 km away, Carrara (pop. 58,700) 7 km away, Sarzana (pop. 20,400) 7 km away, Marina di Massa (pop. 19,100) 9 km away, and Massa (pop. 64,800) 10 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in La Spezia (pop. 93,300) located 16 km from the epicenter, and Viareggio (pop. 62,200) 28 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Genoa (pop. 580,100) located 94 km from the epicenter.

Moderate magnitude 4.6 earthquake 24 km southwest of Ioannina, Greece

A magnitude 4.6 earthquake near Ioannina, Epirus, Greece, was reported only 6 minutes ago by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 5. km beneath the epicenter late at night on Tuesday, March 24th, 2026, at 11:57 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.
A second report was later issued by The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH), which listed it as a magnitude 4.2 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The Seismological Survey of Serbia (SSS) at magnitude 4.4, the National Observatory of Athens (NOA) at magnitude 4.4, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 4.6, The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) at magnitude 4.3, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake 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 Paramythia (pop. 2,600) located 15 km from the epicenter, Eleousa (pop. 3,500) 22 km away, and Kardamitsia (pop. 3,200) 23 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Ioannina (pop. 65,600) located 24 km from the epicenter, Anatoli (pop. 9,800) 25 km away, Igoumenitsa (pop. 9,500) 29 km away, Arta (pop. 21,900) 59 km away, and Preveza (pop. 17,300) 72 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.

Small magnitude 3.7 quake hits 13 miles south of Larsen Bay, Alaska, United States around noon

A magnitude 3.7 earthquake near Larsen Bay, Kodiak Island, Alaska, USA, was reported only 4 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered the key international and national agency that monitors seismic activity in the US. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 0.4 miles beneath the epicenter around noon on Tuesday, March 24th, 2026, at 1:04 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.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.2 earthquake. A third agency, The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.7.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Larsen Bay (pop. 88) located 13 miles from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Karluk (pop. 37) located 22 miles from the epicenter, Akhiok (pop. 72) 29 miles away, and Old Harbor (pop. 220) 29 miles away. In Womens Bay (pop. 720, 55 miles away), and Port Lions (pop. 200, 55 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
