Chile was shaken near Valparaiso, Provincia de Valparaíso, Region de Valparaiso, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.2 only 3 minutes ago, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 16. km beneath the epicenter near Valparaiso, Provincia de Valparaíso, Region de Valparaiso, Chile, in the evening on Tuesday, July 14th, 2026, at 9:09 pm local time. 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.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Quintero (pop. 31,900) located 25 km from the epicenter, Concon (pop. 42,200) 39 km away, La Ligua (pop. 32,100) 47 km away, Valparaiso (pop. 282,400) 48 km away, Vina del Mar (pop. 334,200) 48 km away, and Hacienda La Calera (pop. 49,100) 49 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Quilpue (pop. 130,300) located 54 km from the epicenter, and Villa Alemana (pop. 97,300) 57 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

Earthquake stats

A shallow magnitude 4.7 earthquake was reported in the morning near Sarmi, Sarmi Regency, Provinsi Papua, Indonesia.
According to Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the quake hit on Wednesday, July 15th, 2026, at 8:58 am local time at a shallow depth of 13. km. 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.7 earthquake as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Sarmi (pop. 14,100) located 92 km from the epicenter, and Kobakma (pop. 13,100) 117 km away.
