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 16 km2 (6 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 7 km (4 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jul 17, 2026 12:01 pm (Universal Time)7 minutes ago5.215 km0 km - This quakeYemen: Owen Fracture Zone RegionMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake7 minutes agoJul 17, 2026 12:01 GMT / Jul 17, 2026 12:01 pm (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: 14.716 / 54.0687: Yemen: Owen Fracture Zone RegionSource: EMSCDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!',5.2,52, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',14.716,54.0687,'7 minutes ago: Mag. 5.2, Yemen: Owen Fracture Zone Region','Earthquake: Mag 5.2 / 15 km (9.3 mi) depth7 minutes agoJul 17, 2026 12:01 GMT / Jul 17, 2026 12:01 pm (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: 14.716 / 54.0687: Yemen: Owen Fracture Zone RegionSource: EMSCDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!','default'); // this will be local to this table obj function putQuakeOnMap(id,lat,lon,time,title,html,mag,zIndex) { qTableOlder.putQuakeOnMap(id,lat,lon,time,title,html,mag,zIndex); } map2.circleScale=0.5;qTableOlder.usePalette=1;qTableOlder.startVal=qTableOlder.referenceTime-(80*365.25*86400);qTableOlder.endVal=qTableOlder.referenceTime; qTableOlder.assignMap(map2); (async function(){await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r,4000));map2.map.setZoom(7)})(); })(); (async function(){while(typeof mkRequest=="undefined")await new Promise(r=>setTimeout(r,500));mkRequest("https://server2.allquakes.com/api/getPrevious.php?quakeId=23192845","get","",function(httpObj){let r=httpObj.responseText,d=document;if(""!=r&&200==httpObj.status){let o=JSON.parse(r);if(!o){d.getElementById("olderQuakesSection").remove();return};let table=d.getElementById("qTableOlder");table.innerHTML+=o.tableRows,qTableOlder.alternateBg(),d.getElementById("placeholder_largestQText").innerHTML=o.html,d.getElementById("sectionPreviousCWrap").style.display="",eval(o.js)}})})();]]>Sources: VolcanoDiscovery / VolcanoAdventures and other sources as noted.Use of material: Most text and images on our websites are owned by us.
