Strong magnitude 5.0 earthquake at 31 km depth28 Aug 03:15 UTC: First to report: VolcanoDiscovery after 3 minutes.28 Aug 03:20: Now using data updates from RaspberryShake... [show all] ...28 Aug 03:22: Now using data updates from GFZ28 Aug 03:23: Magnitude recalculated from 4.9 to 5.0. Epicenter location corrected by 0.6 km (0.4 mi) towards SSE.28 Aug 03:25: Now using data updates from EMSC28 Aug 03:27: Hypocenter depth recalculated from 20.00 to 31.00 km (from 12.4 to 19.3 mi). Epicenter location corrected by 15 km (9.2 mi) towards WNW.Update Thu, 28 Aug 2025, 03:24Significant magnitude 5.0 quake hits 3 km northwest of Okinawa, Japan around noonAn earthquake of magnitude 5.0 occurred around noon on Thursday, August 28th, 2025, at 12:12 pm local time near Okinawa, Okinawa Shi, Japan, as reported by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 10. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.A second report was later issued by France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), which listed it as a magnitude 5.1 earthquake. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 5.0.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.Moderate shaking probably occurred in Kadena (pop. 13,700) located 2 km from the epicenter, Okinawa (pop. 125,500) 3 km away, Chatan (pop. 27,800) 6 km away, and Yomitan (pop. 40,500) 6 km away.In Ishikawa (pop. 22,400) located 8 km from the epicenter, Gushikawa (pop. 65,300) 9 km away, Katsuren-haebaru (pop. 34,200) 10 km away, Ginowan (pop. 91,800) 11 km away, and Naha (pop. 317,400) 19 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

So far, we have received 19 reports for this quake from Japan. Out of these, 18 people indicated they felt it. The quake was reported to have been felt in up to approx. 300–800 km (186–497 mi) distance, with isolated cases to have felt the quake even 1,533 km (952 mi) away.The majority of reports came from Okinawa (4 reports), a city with more than 130,000 inhabitants in 45 km (28 mi) distance southeast of the epicenter, Japan, Ishikawa (2 reports), a town with 22,000 inhabitants in Okinawa in 39 km (24 mi) distance southeast of the epicenter, and Ginoza (1 report) (49 km or 31 mi to the east).

It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!Number of reports by intensityShaking intensityNumber of reportsMin-Max distance from epicenter (*)Average distance (*)I: Not felt143–43 km (26–26 mi)43 km (26 mi)II: Very weak shaking342–820 km (26–510 mi)303 km (188 mi)III: Weak shaking534–45 km (21–28 mi)41 km (25 mi)IV: Light shaking734–54 km (21–33 mi)46 km (28 mi)V: Moderate shaking146–46 km (29–29 mi)46 km (29 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (19 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.I didn't feel itI felt this quakeIf you were near the epicenter and felt it, please share your experience and submit a short "I felt it" report!

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 10 km2 (4 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 5 km (3 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Aug 28, 2025 12:12 pm (GMT +9)17 minutes ago - felt5.031 km0 km - This quakeEast China Sea, Okinawa, 28 km W of Iejima Island, JapanMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeStrongest in 2 yearsThe earthquake was the strongest to hit this part of Japan in over 2 years.
