The month's largest event in Myanmar was a magnitude 5.2 earthquake near Hakha, Myanmar on 22 February 2025 at 10:33 UTC. A magnitude 5.2 earthquake radiates roughly 951 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Myanmar monthly average of 5 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and level with the 2 recorded the previous month.
50% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 50% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). A substantial share of intermediate-depth events points to a subducting slab beneath the region rather than purely crustal faulting.
By band, the catalogue holds 1 in the magnitude 4 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.
The month's largest events were M5.2 near Hakha, Myanmar on 22 February at 55 km; M4.3 near Monywa, Myanmar on 23 February at 93 km.
