The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 5.2 earthquake in China near Xincheng, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang, only 9 minutes ago. The earthquake struck after midnight on Saturday, November 14th, 2026, at 12:17 am local time, at a shallow depth of 15 km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the earthquake might 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed the earthquake at magnitude 5.1.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the earthquake 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 might have been felt in Luntai (pop. 43,300), located 67 km from the epicenter, and Xincheng (pop. 102,800), 92 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the magnitude and depth if they change and follow up if other significant news about the earthquake becomes available.
