Vanuatu was shaken near Port Vila, Shefa Province, by an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 only 8 minutes ago, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a moderately shallow depth of 35. km beneath the epicenter near Port Vila, Shefa Province, Vanuatu, late at night on Sunday, May 11th, 2025, at 10:22 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.
A second report was later issued by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 5.6 earthquake.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Port Vila (pop. 35,900) located 17 km from the epicenter.
