The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 6.0 earthquake in Japan near Ise, Ise-shi, Mie-ken, only 9 minutes ago. The earthquake occurred on Sunday morning, November 1, 2026, at 7:15 a.m. local time, at a great depth of 350.90 km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the earthquake may be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake, which also listed it as a magnitude 6.0 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same earthquake include Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, which measured it at magnitude 5.9, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which measured it at magnitude 6.0.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the earthquake should not have caused any significant damage but was probably felt by many people as light vibrations in the epicentral area. Weak shaking may have been felt in Ise (pop. 123,500), located 89 km from the epicenter; Matsusaka (pop. 159,100), 105 km away; Toyohashi (pop. 377,500), 114 km away; Tsu (pop. 274,500), 121 km away; Tsu (pop. 274,500), 121 km away; Suzuka (pop. 195,700), 134 km away; Yokkaichi (pop. 305,400), 141 km away; and Kuwana (pop. 140,100), 149 km away.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the magnitude and depth if they change and follow up if other significant news about the earthquake becomes available.
