An intermediate to deep magnitude 5.2 earthquake was reported in the evening near Neiafu, Vava’u, Tonga.
According to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the quake hit on Sunday, May 18th, 2025, at 8:54 pm local time at an intermediate to considerable depth of 165. km. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 5.2 as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Neiafu (pop. 4,300) located 127 km from the epicenter.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
