A magnitude 5.0 earthquake near Amahai, Kabupaten Maluku Tengah, Maluku, Indonesia, was reported only 6 minutes ago by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in Indonesia. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 12. km beneath the epicenter early evening on Saturday, September 27th, 2025, at 6:08 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.
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 Masohi (pop. 36,400) located 87 km from the epicenter, and Amahai (pop. 47,700) 94 km away.

A shallow magnitude 5.4 earthquake was reported early evening near Sola, Torba Province, Vanuatu.
According to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the quake hit on Saturday, September 27th, 2025, at 7:10 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.4 earthquake as well.
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 Sola (pop. 1,200) located 119 km from the epicenter.
