An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 occurred only 20 minutes ago 73 km southeast of Arawa, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported.
The quake hit at an intermediate depth of 86. km beneath the epicenter near Arawa, Bougainville, Papua New Guinea, late at night on Friday, May 23rd, 2025, at 10:31 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 German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.8. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.8.
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 Buin (pop. 750) located 32 km from the epicenter, Kieta (pop. 3,600) 70 km away, Panguna (pop. 2,900) 72 km away, and Arawa (pop. 40,300) 73 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you’re

A magnitude 4.5 earthquake near Khemisset, Khémisset Province, Rabat-Sale-Kenitra, Morocco, was reported only 16 minutes ago by Spain’s Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN), considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in this part of the world. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 23. km beneath the epicenter around noon on Friday, May 23rd, 2025, at 12:16 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.
A second report was later issued by the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera, IPMA), which listed it as a magnitude 3.8 earthquake. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.5.
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 Tiddas (pop. 3,800) located 14 km from the epicenter, Oulmes (pop. 19,000) 31 km away, Khemisset (pop. 143,600) 48 km away, Tiflet (pop. 94,700) 49 km away, and Ain El Aouda (pop. 54,400) 58 km away.
