So far, we have received 2 reports for this quake from the Philippines. The quake was reported to have been felt in up to approx. 200 km (124 mi) distance.Most reports came from Davao City, a city of 1.8 million people in Davao in 115 km (71 mi) distance west of the epicenter, Philippines. Further below is a list of places where most people reported this quake.This section is being updated as new data comes in.User reports estimate the perceived ground shaking intensity according to the MMI (Modified Mercalli Intensity) scale.Translate196.5 km WSW of epicenter [Map] / Light shaking (MMI IV) (reported through our app)119 km W of epicenter [Map] / Weak shaking (MMI III) (reported through our iOS app)List of cities/places with most reportsPlaceDistance from epicenterAverage reported Shaking IntensityNr. of reportsDavao City, Davao, Philippines(Pop.: 1,848,947)115 km (71 mi)W of epicenterIII: Weak shaking1Note: Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (2 in total) could be used for statistics.What is Intensity and the Mercalli Intensity Scale?The amount of shaking that occurs on the surface due to an earthquake is called the intensity. It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!Number of reports by intensityShaking intensityNumber of reportsMin-Max distance from epicenter (*)Average distance (*)III: Weak shaking1119–119 km (74–74 mi)119 km (74 mi)IV: Light shaking1196–196 km (122–122 mi)196 km (122 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (2 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.Get the Android appI didn't feel itI felt this quakeIf you were near the epicenter and felt it, please share your experience and submit a short "I felt it" report! Other users would love to hear about it!If you did NOT feel the quake although you were in the area, please report it as well! Your contribution is valuable to earthquake science and seismic hazard analysis.Compare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data. It takes normally up to a few hours until earthquake parameters are calculated with near-optimum precision.MagDepthTime GMT2026-06-18EpicenterAgency5.610 km6.2 mi(*)16:33:55Mindanao, PhilippinesBMKG (Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency of Indonesia)Notes:(*) A depth given as 10 km often means that the the depth of the quake could be not determined with sufficient accuracy.Aftershocks for this quakeNo aftershocks have been recorded so far. 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 40 km2 (15 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 11 km (7 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jun 18, 2026 04:33 pm (Universal Time)6 minutes ago - felt5.610 km0 km - This quakeDavao, 192 km NE of General Santos, PhilippinesMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 26 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 1,000 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 8 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 62.5 years)Mag. 7 or higher: 0.12 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 8.6 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.48 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 2.1 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 6.8 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 74 quakes per year (or 6.2 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 294 quakes per year (or 24.5 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 903 quakes per year (or 75 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 1,000 quakes per year (or 2.8 quakes per day)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 8 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 60 to 65 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
