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 3 km2 (1 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 3 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Oct 7, 2025 11:07 am (Ho Chi Minh)19 minutes ago4.410 km0 km - This quakeVietnamMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 25 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 16.1 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 5 or higher: 0.04 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 25.6 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 13.9 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 16 quakes per yearMag. 2 or higher: 16 quakes per yearThe area where this quake occurred has a moderate level of seismic activity. However, It has had at least 109 quakes above magnitude 4 since 2018, 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 23 hours after a magnitude 4.8 earthquake had hit on Monday, Oct 6, 2025, at 11:49 am local time (Asia/Ho Chi Minh GMT +7) in 25 km (16 mi) distance to the southwest:Mag. 4.8 earthquake Vietnam - The strongest-ever (since 1900) recorded quake in this area measured magnitude 5.1.
