Worldwide earthquakes above magnitude 3 during the past 24 hours on 28 Aug 2025

Summary: 4 quakes 5.0+, 39 quakes 4.0+, 144 quakes 3.0+, 312 quakes 2.0+ (499 total)
The past 24 hours have seen about average to lower-than-average earthquake activity globally, mostly focused along the very active subduction zones along the Pacific.
Key Highlights:
The most significant event was a Magnitude 5.9 earthquake in the Rat Islands, part of the Aleutian Islands chain, off the coast of Alaska. This region is known for its high seismic activity due to the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate.
Further south, the “Ring of Fire” showed activity with a Magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Kokopo, Papua New Guinea, and a Magnitude 4.7 in Southern Sumatra, Indonesia. These events are typical for this highly seismic zone. Japan also saw several quakes, including a Magnitude 4.8 near Ie, a Magnitude 4.5 near Nemuro, and another Magnitude 4.5 in the Izu Islands region.
Back on the opposite side of the Pacific, a Magnitude 4.5 occurred off the coast of Panama. An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.0 was registered in Papua New Guinea. A Magnitude 4.1 was reported off the coast of Mexico.
Significant tremors were also felt in Central Asia with a Magnitude 5.3 earthquake in Mongolia and a Magnitude 5.1 earthquake in
