An intermediate magnitude 5.8 earthquake was reported in the morning near Lifau, Pante Makasar, Oecusse, Timor-Leste.According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the quake hit on Tuesday, April 21st, 2026, at 11:17 am local time at an intermediate depth of 89. 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.Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 5.9. Other agencies reporting the same quake include Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency at magnitude 6.0, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at…

Vulcanian activity from the Santiaguito's lava dome continues (image: @Centinela_35/x.com)The extrusive-explosive eruption of the volcano continues. Near-constant weak-to-moderate vulcanian-sized eruptions at regular intervals of 1 to 2 per hour continue. Viscous, but gas-poor magma squeezes through the main conduit in search for the fastest way up to the surface and is being fragmented into grey ash-rich eruption plumes, rising up to about 14,000 ft (4,3 km) above the summit. People are advised to avoid the sticky lava flow due to the strong heat which may cause burns and other serious injuries. The current hazards are also hot avalanches that can become mobilized into hot glowing currents (pyroclastic flows). Un video muestra a senderistas huyendo del Volcán Santiaguito en Guatemala, tras…

Just 8 minutes ago, a 5.5-magnitude earthquake struck near Ibarra, Provincia de Imbabura, Ecuador. The tremor was recorded in the evening on Monday, April 20th, 2026, at 9:22 pm local time, at an intermediate depth of 104.20 km below the surface.The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.5 earthquake as well. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.5.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…
