Just 8 minutes ago, a 5.5-magnitude earthquake struck near Aso, Aso-shi, Kumamoto, Japan. The tremor was recorded early evening on Tuesday, November 25th, 2025, at 6:01 pm local time, at a very shallow depth of 9.10 km below the surface.
The event was filed by Japan’s National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED), the first seismological agency to report it.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
