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 20 km2 (8 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 8 km (5 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Nov 12, 2025 01:23 pm (GMT +10)11 minutes ago5.310 km0 km - This quake72 km SW of Madang, Madang Province, Papua New GuineaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake11 minutes agoNov 12, 2025 03:23 GMT / Nov 12, 2025 01:23 pm (GMT +10)Lat / Lng: -5.57 / 145.243: Papua New Guinea RegionSource: GFZDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!',5.3,53, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',-5.57,145.243,'11 minutes ago: Mag. 5.3, Papua New Guinea Region','Earthquake: Mag 5.3 / 10 km (6.2 mi) depth11 minutes agoNov 12, 2025 03:23 GMT / Nov 12, 2025 01:23 pm (GMT +10)Lat / Lng: -5.57 / 145.243: Papua New Guinea RegionSource: 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=22383167","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)}})})();]]>Support Us – Help Us Enhance Our Services!We’re passionate about delivering the latest volcano and earthquake data from around the globe — just for you.
