The month's largest event in Myanmar was a magnitude 4.9 earthquake near Taungoo, Myanmar on 07 September 2025 at 03:17 UTC. A magnitude 4.9 earthquake radiates roughly 338 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Myanmar monthly average of 5 events over the period we cover, and down from the 6 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 4 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.9 near Taungoo, Myanmar on 07 September at 10 km; M4.6 near Chauk, Myanmar on 14 September at 57 km; M4.4 near Mawlaik, Myanmar on 04 September at 123 km.
