The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 4.7 quake in Indonesia near Biak, Biak Numfor Regency, Papua, only 22 minutes ago. The earthquake hit late at night on Tuesday, May 6th, 2025, at 11:20 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10. km. 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 the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.7 as well. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 4.7.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Biak (pop. 4,500) located 76 km from the epicenter, and Insrom (pop. 3,500) 81 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

Just 13 minutes ago, a 2.9-magnitude earthquake struck near Baza, Granada, Andalusia, Spain. The tremor was recorded in the afternoon on Tuesday, May 6th, 2025, at 4:14 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 10. km below the surface.
The event was filed by Spain’s Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN), the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 2.9 as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Baza (pop. 23,400) located 3 km from the epicenter, Caniles (pop. 4,100) 5 km away, Zujar (pop. 2,600) 11 km away, Benamaurel (pop. 2,300) 17 km away, and Cortes de Baza (pop. 2,400) 21 km away. In Pozo Alcon (pop. 5,400, 30 km away), La Mojonera (pop. 7,800, 35 km away), and Guadix (pop. 20,400, 38 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
