It has had at least 22 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 5 to 10 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 0 seconds after a magnitude 3.9 earthquake had hit on Friday, Feb 27, 2026, at 10:04 am (GMT +8 local time) in 0 km (0 mi) distance to the north:Mag. 3.9 earthquake Maluku Sea - 95 km south of Tondano, Indonesia - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 7.0.
