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 km2 (0 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (1 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jul 23, 2026 01:53 pm (GMT +12:45)18 minutes ago4.15 km0 km - This quakeSouth Pacific Ocean, 421 km SE of Wellington, Wellington, New ZealandMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake18 minutes agoJul 23, 2026 01:08 GMT / Jul 23, 2026 01:53 pm (GMT +12:45)Lat / Lng: -43.1946 / 179.1978: Off E.
