The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 5 km (3 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Apr 24, 2026 03:42 am (Universal Time)12 minutes ago5.0168 km0 km - This quakeNew Guinea, Papua New GuineaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake12 minutes agoApr 24, 2026 03:42 GMT / Apr 24, 2026 03:42 am (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: -4.37 / 143.46: New Guinea, Papua New GuineaSource: BMKGOther sources: RaspberryShake: 5.0 / 168 kmDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!',5.0,50, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',-4.37,143.46,'12 minutes ago: Mag. 5.0, New Guinea, Papua New Guinea','Earthquake: Mag 5.0 / 168 km (104 mi) depth12 minutes agoApr 24, 2026 03:42 GMT / Apr 24, 2026 03:42 am (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: -4.37 / 143.46: New Guinea, Papua New GuineaSource: BMKGOther sources: RaspberryShake: 5.0 / 168 kmDetail 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=22939267","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)}})})();]]>Try our free app!Android | iOS versionSupport Us – Help Us Enhance Our Services!We’re passionate about delivering the latest volcano and earthquake data from around the globe — just for you.
