Small magnitude 2.8 earthquake 27 miles southeast of Kintore, Northern Territory, Australia

Just 15 minutes ago, a 2.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Kintore, MacDonnell, Northern Territory, Australia. The tremor was recorded in the evening on Wednesday, June 10th, 2026, at 9:41 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 6.2 miles below the surface.
The event was filed by Geoscience Australia (GeoAu), the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 2.8 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 2.8.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Kintore (pop. 410, 27 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
