The month's largest event in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was a magnitude 5.0 earthquake near Mwene-Ditu, Democratic Republic of the Congo on 13 November 2026 at 01:12 UTC. A magnitude 5.0 earthquake radiates roughly 477 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is close to the the Democratic Republic of the Congo monthly average of 1 events over the period we cover.

100% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). Almost everything here is crustal. That is characteristic of transform faulting or continental deformation rather than subduction — and it means shaking at the surface is strong for the magnitudes involved.

By band, the catalogue holds 1 in the magnitude 5 range.

That is close to the 1 events the Democratic Republic of the Congo averages per month across the 3 months on record.

This month also holds the strongest earthquake recorded in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in our entire catalogue.
