Magnitude 5.2 earthquake strikes near Isangel, Tafea, Vanuatu
5.2 quake 7 Oct 8:37 pm (GMT +11)
A magnitude 5.2 earthquake near Isangel, Tafea, Vanuatu, was reported only 11 minutes ago by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at an intermediate to considerable depth of 156 km beneath the epicenter in the evening on Monday, October 7th, 2024, at 8:37 pm 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.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 5.3 earthquake.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Isangel (pop. 1,400) located 49 km from the epicenter.
