Significant 6.0 quake hits near China, Ōshima-gun, Kagoshima-ken, Japan An earthquake of magnitude 6.0 occurred only 8 minutes ago 7 km northwest of China, Japan, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter near China, Ōshima-gun, Kagoshima-ken, Japan, in the morning on Wednesday, May 20th, 2026, at 11:46 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 German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 6.0 earthquake as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been felt by everybody in the area of the epicenter. In those areas, dangerous ground shaking occurred with the potential to inflict moderate to heavy damage to buildings and other infrastructure.
Towns or cities where the quake likely caused strong ground shaking include
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Wadomari (pop. 6,900) located 11 km from the epicenter, and Chabana (pop. 5,100) 39 km away.
In Isen (pop. 6,600) located 51 km from the epicenter, Amagi (pop. 6,400) 60 km away, Tokuwase (pop. 10,100) 64 km away, Nago (pop. 63,600) 102 km away, and Uruma (pop. 125,300) 131 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
