A magnitude 5.3 earthquake near Meiktila, Meiktila District, Mandalay Region, Myanmar (Burma), was reported only 14 minutes ago by Thailand’s Earthquake Observation Division (TMD), considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in this part of the world. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter early afternoon on Friday, May 9th, 2025, at 2:37 pm local time. 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.
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 Meiktila (pop. 177,400) located 27 km from the epicenter, and Yamethin (pop. 59,900) 42 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Kyaukse (pop. 50,500) located 89 km from the epicenter, Taunggyi (pop. 160,100) 97 km away, Myingyan (pop. 141,700) 104 km away, Nay Pyi Taw (pop. 925,000) 118 km away, Pyinmana (pop. 97,400) 119 km away, and Mandalay (pop. 1,208,100) 130 km away.

Russia was shaken near Korsakov, Korsakovskii, Sakhalin Oblast, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.5 only 12 minutes ago, Japan’s National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) reported.
The quake hit at a great depth of 356. km beneath the epicenter near Korsakov, Korsakovskii, Sakhalin Oblast, Russia, in the afternoon on Friday, May 9th, 2025, at 4:15 pm local time. 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.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Novikovo (pop. 800) located 59 km from the epicenter, and Korsakov (pop. 35,100) 112 km away.
