Note: Earthquakes within 20 km from and at depths less than 50 km under active volcanoes are reported. The list is not complete because many volcanoes are not monitored and/or seismic data in high resolution is not available publicly.

Volcanoes with recent earthquakes above magnitude 2 or more than 10 quakes are listed below:

Akuseki-jima volcano (Ryukyu Islands): 4 earthquakes up to magnitude 2.8

Clear Lake volcano (California): 15 earthquakes up to magnitude 1.6

El Chichón volcano (Southern Mexico): 39 earthquakes up to magnitude 2.9

Harra es-Sawâd volcano (Arabian Peninsula): magnitude 3.0 earthquake

Hulubelu volcano (Sumatra): magnitude 2.5 earthquake

Katla volcano (Iceland): 11 earthquakes up to magnitude 3.0

Kolumbo volcano (Greece): 4 earthquakes up to magnitude 2.1

Krísuvík volcano (Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland): 29 earthquakes up to magnitude 1.2

Ksudach volcano (Southern Kamchatka): magnitude 4.1 earthquake

Mageik volcano (Alaska Peninsula): magnitude 3.4 earthquake

Pelée volcano (Caribbean): 16 earthquakes up to magnitude 1.2

Ruapehu volcano (North Island): 3 earthquakes up to magnitude 2.4

Tandikat volcano (Sumatra): magnitude 3.0 earthquake

Taupo volcano (New Zealand): magnitude 2.1 earthquake

A very shallow magnitude 3.4 earthquake was reported in the afternoon near Pomona, Los Angeles County, California, USA.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Saturday, September 6th, 2025, at 5:11 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 4.8 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 3.2 earthquake. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.4.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in San Antonio Heights (pop. 3,400) located 6 miles from the epicenter, and Glendora (pop. 52,000) 8 miles away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Upland (pop. 76,400) located 9 miles from the epicenter, Pomona (pop. 153,300) 9 miles away, Ontario (pop. 171,200) 11 miles away, Rancho Cucamonga (pop. 175,200) 11 miles away, Chino (pop. 85,600) 13 miles away, and West Covina (pop. 108,500) 14 miles away. In Los Angeles (pop. 3,898,700, 30 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.

The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 4.0 quake in Cyprus near Limassol, Limassol District, only 7 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Sunday, September 7th, 2025, at 1:02 am local time at a moderately shallow depth of 50. km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 3.6 earthquake.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Mari (pop. 190) located 12 km from the epicenter, Germasogeia (pop. 17,300) 18 km away, Limassol (pop. 154,000) 20 km away, Kato Polemidia (pop. 23,200) 24 km away, Aradippou (pop. 22,900) 46 km away, Larnaca (pop. 72,000) 47 km away, Kato Lakatameia (pop. 40,000) 54 km away, Strovolos (pop. 67,900) 57 km away, Nicosia (pop. 200,500) 61 km away, and Pergamos (pop. 15,000) 61 km away.
