On June 30, 2026 at 17:12 UTC, a magnitude 4.4 shallow crustal earthquake struck 81 km W of Myitkyina, Burma (Myanmar), at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 25.3549°, 96.5850°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.4 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 60 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 655 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
