A magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Maullin, Provincia de Llanquihue, Region de los Lagos, Chile, was reported only 12 minutes ago by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), considered one of the key international agencies monitoring seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a moderately shallow depth of 35 km beneath the epicenter on Wednesday afternoon, November 11, 2026, at 4:21 pm local time. 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 reports.Our monitoring service identified a second report from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed the quake at magnitude 5.0. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the National Seismological Center (Centro Sismológico Nacional, CSN) of the University of Chile, which measured it at magnitude 4.9, and the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake, which measured it at magnitude 5.0.Generally, quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency, and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing greater accuracy.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.Weak shaking might have been felt in Maullin (pop. 15,600), located 11 km from the epicenter; Ancud (pop. 40,800), 34 km away; Calbuco (pop. 33,000), 53 km away; Puerto Montt (pop. 245,900), 65 km away; Puerto Varas (pop. 37,600), 67 km away; Llanquihue (pop. 16,200), 69 km away; Frutillar (pop. 15,000), 74 km away; Purranque (pop. 20,700), 87 km away; and Castro (pop. 41,700), 100 km away.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the magnitude and depth if they change and follow up if other significant news about the quake becomes available.
