M4.7 Earthquake near North Indian Ocean — September 26, 2026
2026-09-26 10:53:15 UTC (32 min ago) · approx. 4:53 PM UTC+6 local
On September 26, 2026 at 10:53 UTC, a magnitude 4.7 shallow crustal earthquake struck near North Indian Ocean, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 1.8310°, 89.4977°. This earthquake was detected by 42 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 340, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.7 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 169 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.1 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
