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 6 km2 (2 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 4 km (3 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Oct 24, 2026 08:29 am (Universal Time)9 minutes ago4.810 km0 km - This quakeXinjiang, ChinaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake9 minutes agoOct 24, 2026 08:29 GMT / Oct 24, 2026 08:29 am (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: 43.448 / 82.105: Northern Xinjiang, ChinaSource: GFZDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!',4.8,48, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',43.448,82.105,'9 minutes ago: Mag. 4.8, Northern Xinjiang, China','Earthquake: Mag 4.8 / 10 km (6.2 mi) depth9 minutes agoOct 24, 2026 08:29 GMT / Oct 24, 2026 08:29 am (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: 43.448 / 82.105: Northern Xinjiang, ChinaSource: GFZDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!','default'); 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)})(); })(); (function(){let done=false;async function loadPrevious(){if(done)return;done=true;while(typeof mkRequest=="undefined")await new Promise(r=>setTimeout(r,500));mkRequest("https://server4.allquakes.com/api/getPrevious.php?quakeId=23461192","get","",function(httpObj){let r=httpObj.responseText,d=document;if(""!=r&&200==httpObj.status){let o=JSON.parse(r);if(!o){let s=d.getElementById("olderQuakesSection");if(s)s.remove();return};let table=d.getElementById("qTableOlder");if(!table)return;table.innerHTML+=o.tableRows,qTableOlder.alternateBg();let ph=d.getElementById("placeholder_largestQText");if(ph)ph.innerHTML=o.html;let wrap=d.getElementById("sectionPreviousCWrap");if(wrap)wrap.style.display="";eval(o.js)}})}let d=document,target=d.getElementById("olderQuakesSection");if(!target||!("IntersectionObserver" in window)){loadPrevious();return}let obs=new IntersectionObserver(function(entries){if(entries.some(e=>e.isIntersecting)){obs.disconnect();loadPrevious()}},{rootMargin:"300px 0px"});obs.observe(target)})();]]>
