It has had at least 26 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, 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 5 weeks after a magnitude 4.0 earthquake had hit on Thursday, Aug 28, 2025, at 06:14 am local time (Pacific/Port Moresby GMT +10) in 96 km (59 mi) distance to the northeast:Mag. 4.0 earthquake New Guinea - Papua New Guinea - Aug 28, 2025 - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 6.2.
