On September 11, 2026 at 17:19 UTC, a magnitude 4.2 intermediate depth earthquake struck 54 km NNW of Asan-Maina Village, Guam, at a depth of 186.5 km and coordinates 13.9424°, 144.5609°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 30 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 476 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
