The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported a magnitude 5.2 quake in Papua New Guinea near Kimbe, Talasea District, West New Britain Province, only 14 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early afternoon on Tuesday, April 29th, 2025, at 2:01 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10. km. 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 France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.1. Other agencies reporting the same quake include Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency at magnitude 5.2, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 5.2, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.1.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Kandrian (pop. 1000) located 37 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Kimbe (pop. 18,800) located 69 km from the epicenter.
