The quake struck at a very shallow depth of 5. km beneath the epicenter near Rotorua, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, in the early evening on Wednesday, October 14th, 2026, at 6:47 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 the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports. Weak shaking might have been felt in Mamaku (pop. 750), located 9 km from the epicenter. Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Putaruru (pop. 4,700), located 18 km from the epicenter; Ngongotaha (pop. 5,200), 19 km away; and Tokoroa (pop. 14,500), 20 km away. In Rotorua (pop. 65,900, 24 km away), Matamata (pop. 6,300, 36 km away), Tauranga (pop. 155,200, 47 km away), Cambridge (pop. 15,200, 53 km away), and Hamilton (pop. 189,700, 70 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
