People likely experienced very weak shaking there. Many smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of El Salvador, San Salvador, 107 km (66 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake was probably felt as very weak shaking.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry50 km (31 mi)NE of epicenterAcajutla(pop: 22,800)III: WeakDepartamento de SonsonateEl Salvador67 km (42 mi)NE of epicenterSonsonate(pop: 59,500)III: WeakDepartamento de SonsonateEl Salvador69 km (43 mi)N of epicenterJujutla(pop: 2,020)III: WeakDepartamento de AhuachapanEl Salvador69 km (43 mi)NE of epicenterSonzacate(pop: 15,400)III: WeakDepartamento de SonsonateEl Salvador72 km (45 mi)N of epicenterSan Francisco Menendez(pop: 1,260)III: WeakDepartamento de AhuachapanEl Salvador73 km (45 mi)NE of epicenterIzalco(pop: 19,200)III: WeakDepartamento de SonsonateEl Salvador78 km (49 mi)NE of epicenterJuayua(pop: 9,940)III: WeakDepartamento de SonsonateEl Salvador84 km (52 mi)N of epicenterAhuachapan(pop: 34,100)III: WeakDepartamento de AhuachapanEl Salvador84 km (52 mi)NE of epicenterLa Libertad(pop: 16,900)III: WeakDepartamento de La LibertadEl Salvador84 km (52 mi)NE of epicenterArmenia(pop: 15,000)III: WeakDepartamento de SonsonateEl Salvador91 km (56 mi)N of epicenterTurin(pop: 11,800)II: Very weakDepartamento de AhuachapanEl Salvador92 km (57 mi)NE of epicenterZaragoza(pop: 11,700)II: Very weakDepartamento de La LibertadEl Salvador96 km (60 mi)NE of epicenterCiudad Arce(pop: 10,100)II: Very weakDepartamento de La LibertadEl Salvador96 km (60 mi)NE of epicenterChalchuapa(pop: 32,300)II: Very weakDepartamento de Santa AnaEl Salvador97 km (61 mi)NE of epicenterSanta Tecla(pop: 124,700)II: Very weakDepartamento de La LibertadEl Salvador99 km (62 mi)NE of epicenterAntiguo Cuscatlan(pop: 33,800)II: Very weakDepartamento de La LibertadEl Salvador102 km (64 mi)NE of epicenterSanta Ana(pop: 176,700)II: Very weakDepartamento de Santa AnaEl Salvador106 km (66 mi)NE of epicenterSan Marcos(pop: 54,600)II: Very weakDepartamento de San SalvadorEl Salvador107 km (66 mi)NE of epicenterSan Salvador(pop: 526,000)II: Very weakDepartamento de San SalvadorEl Salvador108 km (67 mi)NE of epicenterAyutuxtepeque(pop: 25,400)II: Very weakDepartamento de San SalvadorEl Salvador109 km (68 mi)NE of epicenterQuezaltepeque(pop: 28,900)II: Very weakQuezaltepeque, Departamento de La LibertadEl Salvador109 km (68 mi)NE of epicenterMejicanos(pop: 160,300)II: Very weakDepartamento de San SalvadorEl Salvador110 km (68 mi)NE of epicenterCuscatancingo(pop: 44,400)II: Very weakDepartamento de San SalvadorEl Salvador111 km (69 mi)NE of epicenterDelgado(pop: 71,600)II: Very weakDepartamento de San SalvadorEl Salvador112 km (70 mi)NE of epicenterSoyapango(pop: 329,700)II: Very weakDepartamento de San SalvadorEl Salvador115 km (71 mi)NE of epicenterApopa(pop: 112,200)II: Very weakDepartamento de San SalvadorEl Salvador115 km (71 mi)NE of epicenterIlopango(pop: 38,900)II: Very weakDepartamento de San SalvadorEl Salvador122 km (76 mi)N of epicenterJutiapa(pop: 145,900)II: Very weakDepartamento de JutiapaGuatemala125 km (77 mi)NE of epicenterAguilares(pop: 21,400)II: Very weakDepartamento de San SalvadorEl Salvador131 km (81 mi)E of epicenterZacatecoluca(pop: 39,600)II: Very weakDepartamento de La PazEl Salvador133 km (82 mi)NE of epicenterCojutepeque(pop: 48,400)II: Very weakDepartamento de CuscatlanEl Salvador137 km (85 mi)NE of epicenterSan Martin(pop: 39,400)II: Very weakDepartamento de CuscatlanEl Salvador141 km (88 mi)NE of epicenterMetapan(pop: 19,100)II: Very weakDepartamento de Santa AnaEl Salvador144 km (90 mi)E of epicenterSan Vicente(pop: 41,500)II: Very weakDepartamento de San VicenteEl Salvador147 km (92 mi)NW of epicenterEscuintla(pop: 156,300)II: Very weakDepartamento de EscuintlaGuatemala151 km (94 mi)NE of epicenterChalatenango(pop: 19,400)II: Very weakDepartamento de ChalatenangoEl Salvador153 km (95 mi)N of epicenterVilla Canales(pop: 155,400)II: Very weakDepartamento de GuatemalaGuatemala156 km (97 mi)N of epicenterPetapa(pop: 135,400)II: Very weakDepartamento de GuatemalaGuatemala159 km (99 mi)N of epicenterVilla Nueva(pop: 618,400)II: Very weakDepartamento de GuatemalaGuatemala170 km (106 mi)NE of epicenterSensuntepeque(pop: 20,400)II: Very weakDepartamento de CabanasEl SalvadorNotes:(*) Shaking intensity according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) and estimated using seismic models.User-reports for this quake (1)The first report about ground shaking reached us after only 4 minutes, before other agencies reported it.

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 (*)II: Very weak shaking1108–108 km (67–67 mi)108 km (67 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (1 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.Get the Android appI 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!

Your contribution is valuable to earthquake science and seismic hazard analysis.Compare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data.

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 2 km2 (1 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)2026-06-12 04:55:335 minutes ago4.326 km0 km - This quake49 km Al Suroeste De Acajutla, El SalvadorMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 26 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 939 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.03 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 31.3 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.28 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 3.5 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 3.5 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 75 quakes per year (or 6.3 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 406 quakes per year (or 33.9 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 852 quakes per year (or 71 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 933 quakes per year (or 78 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 4 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 30 to 35 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
