Magnitude 5.2 earthquake strikes near Koronadal, South Cotabato, Soccsksargen, Philippines

Just 7 minutes ago, a 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck near Koronadal, South Cotabato, Soccsksargen, Philippines. The tremor was recorded early evening on Saturday, May 16th, 2026, at 7:25 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 17. km below the surface.The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.Our monitoring service identified a second report from Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency which listed the quake at magnitude 5.1. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.2.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…

A pause at Kilauea headlined a busy day, while Indonesia’s eruptive tempo stayed high. Semeru registered 53 explosions with signals of pyroclastic density currents, and Dukono tallied 74 blasts that lofted plumes to 3.4 km. Compared with yesterday, alerts shifted: Kilauea dropped to Advisory/Yellow, Kanlaon decreased to Level 1, while Taal rose to Level 2.United StatesKilauea’s eruption paused; Kilauea was lowered to Advisory with Aviation Yellow after Episode 47 ended following about nine hours of lava fountaining. In the Aleutians, Great Sitkin stayed at Watch/Aviation Orange with a slow, ongoing eruption. Unrest continued at Kupreanof and Shishaldin (both Advisory/Aviation Yellow).IndonesiaExplosive activity was notable: Semeru produced 53 explosions with seismic signals of pyroclastic density currents and a flowage event, while Dukono…
