An earthquake of magnitude 5.0 occurred only 20 minutes ago 72 km east of Miangas, Indonesia, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.The quake hit at a moderately shallow depth of 35. km beneath the epicenter near Miangas, Sulawesi Utara, Indonesia, in the morning on Wednesday, June 17th, 2026, at 11:46 am 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 report.A second report was later issued by Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, which listed it as a magnitude 4.7 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 5.1, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 4.7.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter. Weak shaking might have been felt in Miangas (pop. 820) located 72 km from the epicenter.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
