A magnitude 5.2 earthquake occurred early Tuesday afternoon, October 6, 2026, at 2:40 p.m. local time near Ifalik Village, Ifalik Municipality, Yap State, Micronesia, according to Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency.
According to preliminary data, the quake occurred at a shallow depth of 10 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones because they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake may be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage but was probably felt by many people as light vibrations in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking may have been felt in Ifalik Village (pop. 560), located 73 km from the epicenter.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the magnitude and depth if they change and follow up if other significant news about the quake becomes available. If you’re in the area, please send us your experience through our reporting mechanism, either online or via our mobile app. This will help us provide more first-hand updates to anyone around the globe who wants to know more about this quake.
