The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 6.3 quake in Vanuatu near Port Vila, Shefa Province, only 16 minutes ago. The earthquake hit late at night on Friday, August 22nd, 2025, at 11:53 pm local time at an intermediate to considerable depth of 275.80 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 France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), which listed it as a magnitude 5.1 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.6, Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency at magnitude 5.4, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.6.
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 Port Vila (pop. 35,900) located 43 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
