Just 8 minutes ago, a 5.6-magnitude earthquake struck near Isangel, Tafea, Vanuatu. The tremor was recorded early morning on Wednesday, May 7th, 2025, at 4:45 am local time, at an intermediate depth of 118. km below the surface.
The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.6 earthquake as well. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.6.
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 Isangel (pop. 1,400) located 42 km from the epicenter.

A magnitude 2.7 earthquake near Farmville, Prince Edward County, Virginia, USA, was reported only 16 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered the key international and national agency that monitors seismic activity in the US. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 0.5 miles beneath the epicenter around noon on Tuesday, May 6th, 2025, at 1:08 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) which listed the quake at magnitude 2.7 as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.0.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Dillwyn (pop. 440) located 5 miles from the epicenter. In Farmville (pop. 8,200, 13 miles away), Hampden Sydney (pop. 1,500, 16 miles away), Lynchburg (pop. 79,800, 37 miles away), Charlottesville (pop. 46,600, 38 miles away), and West Lynchburg (pop. 65,500, 40 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
