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.
