An intermediate to deep magnitude 5.2 earthquake was reported in the evening near Neiafu, Vava’u, Tonga.
According to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the quake hit on Sunday, May 18th, 2025, at 8:54 pm local time at an intermediate to considerable depth of 165. km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 5.2 as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Neiafu (pop. 4,300) located 127 km from the epicenter.
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 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

The National Observatory of Athens (NOA) reported a magnitude 3.8 quake in Greece near Rhodes, Dodecanese, South Aegean, only 9 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the morning on Sunday, May 18th, 2025, at 10:29 am 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.
A second report was later issued by the Kandilli Oservatory and Earthquake Research Institute in Istanbul (KOERI-RETMC), which listed it as a magnitude 4.0 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH) at magnitude 3.6, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 3.9, and The Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA) at magnitude 3.6.
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 Archangelos (pop. 5,400) located 3 km from the epicenter, Afantou (pop. 5,600) 11 km away, Faliraki (pop. 6,000) 17 km away, Maritsa (pop. 1,800) 18 km away, Koskinou (pop. 4,900) 23 km away, and Paradeisi
