According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the quake hit on Wednesday, July 1st, 2026, at 8:40 am local time at a shallow depth of 15. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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 5.1 earthquake as well. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.1. Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc. In Hyuga (pop. 60,000) located 10 km from the epicenter, Kadogawa (pop. 17,500) 15 km away, Kawaminami (pop. 15,400) 20 km away, Takanabe (pop. 20,200) 25 km away, Nobeoka (pop. 119,500) 27 km away, Tsuma (pop. 34,300) 33 km away, and Saito (pop. 29,300) 35 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking. Weak shaking might have been felt in Miyazaki (pop. 401,300) located 50 km from the epicenter. VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
