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 1,259 km2 (486 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 61 km (38 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Feb 22, 2026 04:57 pm (Universal Time)5 minutes ago7.1633 km0 km - This quakeBorneoMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake5 minutes agoFeb 22, 2026 16:57 GMT / Feb 22, 2026 04:57 pm (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: 6.89 / 116.25: BorneoSource: GFZDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!',7.1,71, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',6.89,116.25,'5 minutes ago: Mag. 7.1, Borneo','Earthquake: Mag 7.1 / 633 km (393 mi) depth5 minutes agoFeb 22, 2026 16:57 GMT / Feb 22, 2026 04:57 pm (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: 6.89 / 116.25: BorneoSource: 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=22743923","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.
