Dataset at a glance — Myanmar

Over the past 30 days, Myanmar has recorded 7 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. 7 landed between M4.0 and M4.9. By depth: 4 shallow (<70 km), 3 intermediate (70–300 km). 4 of the epicenters were offshore. 2 events produced at least one felt report, totalling 59 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. Focal depths ranged from 10.0 km to 133.7 km. All 7 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist.

Leading the list is a magnitude 4.5 event near 19 km SSE of Kakching, India at 52.1 km depth. The second-ranked event, at magnitude 4.4 near 11 km WSW of Narsingdi, Bangladesh, trails by 0.1 magnitude units — a narrow gap, indicating two comparably energetic events in the current window. Rounding out the top three is a magnitude 4.4 earthquake near 77 km E of Wāngjing, India.

A magnitude 4.4 earthquake was recorded 11 km WSW of Narsingdi, Bangladesh on June 22, 2026 at 15:28 UTC. Of every earthquake currently listed for Myanmar, this one generated the most felt reports from the public. The USGS PAGER system assigned a green alert level for this event, signalling no significant casualties or damage expected. At just 10.0 km, it was the shallowest earthquake in the current dataset — a shallow crustal event. Nearby residents submitted 57 felt reports to the USGS DYFI platform. On the Modified Mercalli scale, shaking reached 4.6 — considered moderate. It ranks as the second largest event in the current dataset. Geolocation places the event at 23.870°N, 90.622°E. The solution has been reviewed by a USGS seismologist and is considered finalized. See the M4.4 event page for the full report, ShakeMap, and citizen-reported intensity data.
