Moderate yet deep 5.4 quake hits near Hihifo, Niuas, Tonga The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported a magnitude 5.4 quake in Tonga near Hihifo, Niuas, only 10 minutes ago. The earthquake hit late at night on Wednesday, March 25th, 2026, at 11:11 pm local time at an intermediate to considerable depth of 204. 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 the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.5 earthquake. A third agency, France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.0.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Hihifo (pop. 300) located 70 km from the epicenter, and Vaipoa (pop. 170) 71 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
