Just 10 minutes ago, a 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck near Lorengau, Manus District, Manus Province, Papua New Guinea. The tremor was recorded around noon on Friday, October 10th, 2025, at 12:08 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 10. km below the surface.
The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 6.2 earthquake as well. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 6.1.
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 Lorengau (pop. 5,800) located 135 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
