On November 3, 2026 at 05:23 UTC, a magnitude 4.5 intermediate depth earthquake struck 31 km E of Mawlaik, Burma (Myanmar), at a depth of 116.4 km and coordinates 23.6023°, 94.7089°. This earthquake was detected by 70 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 312, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 85 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 767 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
