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 1 km2 (0 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (1 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Mar 4, 2026 10:03 am (GMT +7)23 minutes ago4.164 km0 km - This quakeIndian Ocean, 108 km SW of Pulau Pagai Utara Island, IndonesiaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 26 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 11.1 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 5 or higher: 1.19 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 7.3 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 20.8 quakes per yearMag. 2 or higher: 20.9 quakes per yearThe area where this quake occurred has a high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 32 quakes above magnitude 5 since 2000, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 1 to 5 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 21 weeks after a magnitude 4.1 earthquake had hit on Thursday, Oct 9, 2025, at 08:41 pm (GMT +7 local time) in 52 km (33 mi) distance to the south:Mag. 4.1 earthquake Indian Ocean - 150 km southwest of Pulau Pagai Selatan Island, Indonesia - Oct 9, 2025 - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 6.1.
