Small magnitude 3.6 earthquake 53 miles south of Carlsbad, Texas, United States

Just 12 minutes ago, a 3.6-magnitude earthquake struck near Carlsbad, Eddy County, New Mexico, USA. The tremor was recorded in the evening on Wednesday, April 15th, 2026, at 8:24 pm local time, at a very shallow depth of 5.3 miles below the surface.
The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Malaga (pop. 150, 43 miles away), Van Horn (pop. 1,900, 50 miles away), and Carlsbad (pop. 29,000, 53 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.

Magnitude 4.7 earthquake strikes near Ambon, Kota Ambon, Maluku, Indonesia

Just 14 minutes ago, a 4.7-magnitude earthquake struck near Ambon, Kota Ambon, Maluku, Indonesia. The tremor was recorded early morning on Thursday, April 16th, 2026, at 1:55 am local time, at an intermediate depth of 131. km below the surface.
The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.7 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency at magnitude 4.2, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 4.7.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Amahai (pop. 47,700) located 44 km from the epicenter, Masohi (pop. 36,400) 51 km away, and Ambon (pop. 347,300) 55 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you’re in the area, please send us your experience through our reporting mechanism, either online or via our mobile app. This will help us provide more first-hand updates to anyone around the globe who wants to know more about this quake.
