The earthquake hit in the evening on Sunday, July 26th, 2026, at 8:36 pm local time at an intermediate depth of 93.84 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. Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.7 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau (CWB) at magnitude 5.6, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.1, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.1. Weak shaking might have been felt in Pinglin (pop. 6,500) located 15 km from the epicenter, Yilan (pop. 94,200) 17 km away, Xizhi (pop. 204,600) 28 km away, Keelung (pop. 362,500) 29 km away, Neihu (pop. 274,500) 34 km away, Taipei (pop. 7,871,900) 38 km away, Banqiao (pop. 551,200) 41 km away, New Taipei City (pop. 4,004,400) 44 km away, Shulin (pop. 180,000) 45 km away, and Sanxia (pop. 115,200) 49 km away.
