On August 5, 2026 at 00:11 UTC, a magnitude 4.8 intermediate depth earthquake struck 55 km WSW of Monywa, Burma (Myanmar), at a depth of 102.3 km and coordinates 21.8772°, 94.6636°. This earthquake was detected by 81 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 355, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.8 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 239 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.2 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
