Small magnitude 3.7 earthquake 39 miles northwest of Anchor Point, Alaska, United States

A magnitude 3.7 earthquake near Anchor Point, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, USA, was reported only 3 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 an intermediate depth of 72 miles beneath the epicenter in the morning on Wednesday, December 31st, 2025, at 11:36 am 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 3.7 earthquake as well.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Happy Valley (pop. 590, 39 miles away), Anchor Point (pop. 1,900, 39 miles away), Diamond Ridge (pop. 1,200, 51 miles away), Homer (pop. 5,500, 52 miles away), Cohoe (pop. 1,400, 57 miles away), and Fritz Creek (pop. 1,900, 57 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.

Earthquake data:
Date & time: Dec 31, 2025 11:36 am (Anchorage time) local time (31 Dec 2025 20:36 GMT)
Magnitude: 3.7
Depth: 116.10 km
Epicenter latitude / longitude: 60.04°N / 152.83°W (Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska, United States)

Significant magnitude 6.0 earthquake 96 km northeast of Miyako, Japan

An earthquake of magnitude 6.0 occurred only 18 minutes ago 96 km northeast of Miyako, Japan, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 19.30 km beneath the epicenter near Miyako, Miyako Shi, Iwate, Japan, after midnight on Thursday, January 1st, 2026, at 12:26 am 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 5.8. Other agencies reporting the same quake include France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 5.6, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.8.
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 Miyako (pop. 51,200) located 96 km from the epicenter, Hachinohe (pop. 239,000) 125 km away, and Kamaishi (pop. 43,100) 127 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
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.

Significant 5.3 quake hits near Susanville, Lassen County, California, USA

The United States was shaken near Susanville, Lassen County, California, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.3 only 2 minutes ago, the United States Geological Survey reported.
The quake hit at a very shallow depth of 5.6 miles beneath the epicenter near Susanville, Lassen County, California, USA, in the evening on Tuesday, December 30th, 2025, at 9:49 pm local time. 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 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 Susanville (pop. 15,200) located 8 miles from the epicenter.
In Chester (pop. 2,100) located 33 miles from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

Moderate magnitude 4.7 quake hits 21 km southwest of Bungku, Indonesia around noon

Just 6 minutes ago, a 4.7-magnitude earthquake struck near Bungku, Morowali Regency, Sulawesi Tengah, Indonesia. The tremor was recorded around noon on Wednesday, December 31st, 2025, at 12:30 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 10. km below the surface.
The event was filed by Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.7 as well.
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 Bungku (pop. 25,500) located 21 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.

Small 3.7 quake hits near Tennant Creek, Barkly, Northern Territory, Australia

A very shallow magnitude 3.7 earthquake was reported around noon near Tennant Creek, Barkly, Northern Territory, Australia.
According to Geoscience Australia (GeoAu), the quake hit on Wednesday, December 31st, 2025, at 12:35 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 3.1 miles. 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.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 3.7 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.7.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Tennant Creek (pop. 3,100, 57 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.

Significant magnitude 5.1 quake hits 117 km east of Miyako, Japan in the morning

A magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Miyako, Miyako Shi, Iwate, Japan, was reported only 19 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 23.73 km beneath the epicenter in the morning on Wednesday, December 31st, 2025, at 8:19 am 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.1 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.2, France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 5.2, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.2.
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 Miyako (pop. 51,200) located 117 km from the epicenter.
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.
