Moderate magnitude 4.6 quake hits 49 km southeast of Tandag, Philippines early evening A magnitude 4.6 earthquake near Tandag, Surigao del Sur, Caraga, Philippines, was reported only 11 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 shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter early evening on Thursday, April 9th, 2026, at 6:45 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.3 earthquake. A third agency, Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.9.
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 Aras-asan (pop. 5,100) located 34 km from the epicenter, Tandag (pop. 29,000) 49 km away, Hinatuan (pop. 44,500) 70 km away, and Tagbina (pop. 41,200) 73 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include San Francisco (pop. 79,700) located 86 km from the epicenter, Bislig (pop. 99,900) 86 km away, Prosperidad (pop. 90,200) 89 km away, and Bayugan (pop. 40,600) 96 km away.
