On June 17, 2025 at 17:56 UTC, a magnitude 3.8 shallow crustal earthquake struck 41 km SE of Inarajan Village, Guam, at a depth of 35.0 km and coordinates 13.0012°, 145.0141°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.8 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 7.6 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 252 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
