An earthquake of magnitude 6.0 occurred in the evening on Monday, November 17th, 2025, at 8:12 pm local time near Modisi, Sulawesi Utara, Indonesia, as reported by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at an intermediate depth of 115. km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. 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 France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.6. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.7, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 5.8, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.7.
Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the
