A magnitude 2.8 earthquake near Amata, Anangu Pitjantjatjara, South Australia, Australia, was reported only 13 minutes ago by Geoscience Australia (GeoAu), considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in Australia. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 6.2 miles beneath the epicenter in the morning on Sunday, April 5th, 2026, at 9:23 am 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 2.8 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 2.8.According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Amata (pop. 430, 24 miles away), and Kanpi (pop. 32, 41 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.Earthquake data: Date & time: Apr 5, 2026 09:53 am (GMT +9:30) local time (5 Apr 2026 00:23 GMT)Magnitude: 2.8Depth: 10.00 kmEpicenter latitude / longitude: 26.05°S / 130.77°E (Anangu Pitjantjatjara, South Australia, Australia)Primary data source: GeoAu
