Earthquakes in Micronesia — June 2026
2 earthquakes were recorded in Micronesia during June 2026, an average of 0.1 per day.

The month's largest event in Micronesia was a magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Fais, Micronesia on 23 June 2026 at 01:56 UTC. A magnitude 5.1 earthquake radiates roughly 674 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Micronesia monthly average of 2 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 4 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.
The month's largest events were M5.1 near Fais, Micronesia on 23 June at 44 km; M4.7 near Federated States of Micronesia region on 30 June at 10 km.
That is close to the 2 events Micronesia averages per month across the 13 months on record.
