On June 11, 2026 at 03:01 UTC, a magnitude 3.4 intermediate depth earthquake struck 71 km WNW of The Bottom, Bonaire, Saint Eustatius and Saba , at a depth of 139.7 km and coordinates 17.9444°, -63.8420°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.4 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 1.9 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 134 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
