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.
