An earthquake of magnitude 4.8 occurred 38 minutes ago 40 km southeast of Chiayi City, Taiwan, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a very shallow depth of 8. km beneath the epicenter near Chiayi City, Chiayi, Taiwan, late at night on Thursday, December 11th, 2025, at 10:49 pm local time. Magnitude and other quake parameters can still change in the coming hours as the agency continues to process seismic data.
A second report was later issued by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 4.8 earthquake as well. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.8.
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 Yujing (pop. 16,600) located 21 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Xinying (pop. 75,000) located 38 km from the epicenter, Chiayi City (pop. 263,200) 40 km away, Yongkang (pop. 233,700) 45 km away, Taibao (pop. 38,700) 46 km away, Tainan (pop. 1,856,600) 50 km away, Fengshan (pop. 356,500) 69
