An earthquake of magnitude 3.1 occurred only 29 minutes ago 19 km northeast of Paphos, Cyprus, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 20. km beneath the epicenter near Paphos, Pafos, Cyprus, in the morning on Tuesday, November 25th, 2025, at 11:03 am 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 Cyprus Geological Survey (CGS) which listed the quake at magnitude 2.9. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the Kandilli Oservatory and Earthquake Research Institute in Istanbul (KOERI-RETMC) at magnitude 3.4, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 3.4.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Pentalia (pop. 71) located 1 km from the epicenter, Emba (pop. 5,500) 18 km away, Geroskipou (pop. 8,400) 18 km away, Paphos (pop. 36,000) 19 km away, and Chlorakas (pop. 6,400) 19 km away. In Kato Polemidia (pop. 23,200, 40 km away), Limassol (pop. 154,000, 44 km away), Germasogeia (pop. 17,300, 46 km away), Morfou (pop. 24,100, 52 km

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.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Aso (pop. 27,000) located 7 km from the epicenter.
In Ozu (pop. 35,200) located 25 km from the epicenter, Kikuchi (pop. 49,500) 27 km away, Okino (pop. 43,300) 32 km away, Koshi (pop. 61,800) 32 km away, Yamaga (pop. 49,100) 39 km away, Koto (pop. 543,700) 41 km away, and Kumamoto (pop. 738,900) 44 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Fukuoka (pop. 1,612,400) located 93 km from the epicenter.
