On November 9, 2025 at 23:45 UTC, a magnitude 4.4 shallow crustal earthquake struck 59 km NE of Kinablangan, Philippines, at a depth of 35.0 km and coordinates 8.0041°, 126.9915°.

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.
