When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 16 km2 (6 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 7 km (4 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Feb 28, 2026 05:53 am (Universal Time)8 minutes ago5.210 km0 km - This quakeSouthwestern Ryukyu Islands, JapanMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake8 minutes agoFeb 28, 2026 05:53 GMT / Feb 28, 2026 05:53 am (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: 25.05 / 125.03: Southwestern Ryukyu Islands, JapanSource: GFZDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!',5.2,52, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',25.05,125.03,'8 minutes ago: Mag. 5.2, Southwestern Ryukyu Islands, Japan','Earthquake: Mag 5.2 / 10 km (6.2 mi) depth8 minutes agoFeb 28, 2026 05:53 GMT / Feb 28, 2026 05:53 am (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: 25.05 / 125.03: Southwestern Ryukyu Islands, JapanSource: GFZDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!','default'); // this will be local to this table obj function putQuakeOnMap(id,lat,lon,time,title,html,mag,zIndex) { qTableOlder.putQuakeOnMap(id,lat,lon,time,title,html,mag,zIndex); } map2.circleScale=0.5;qTableOlder.usePalette=1;qTableOlder.startVal=qTableOlder.referenceTime-(80*365.25*86400);qTableOlder.endVal=qTableOlder.referenceTime; qTableOlder.assignMap(map2); (async function(){await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r,4000));map2.map.setZoom(7)})(); })(); (async function(){while(typeof mkRequest=="undefined")await new Promise(r=>setTimeout(r,500));mkRequest("https://server2.allquakes.com/api/getPrevious.php?quakeId=22760095","get","",function(httpObj){let r=httpObj.responseText,d=document;if(""!=r&&200==httpObj.status){let o=JSON.parse(r);if(!o){d.getElementById("olderQuakesSection").remove();return};let table=d.getElementById("qTableOlder");table.innerHTML+=o.tableRows,qTableOlder.alternateBg(),d.getElementById("placeholder_largestQText").innerHTML=o.html,d.getElementById("sectionPreviousCWrap").style.display="",eval(o.js)}})})();]]>
