Earthquakes in Nicaragua — June 2025
3 earthquakes were recorded in Nicaragua during June 2025, an average of 0.1 per day.

The month's largest event in Nicaragua was a magnitude 4.7 earthquake near Jiquilillo, Nicaragua on 19 June 2025 at 13:02 UTC. A magnitude 4.7 earthquake radiates roughly 169 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Nicaragua monthly average of 3 events over the period we cover, and level with the 3 recorded the previous month.
67% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 33% 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 3 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.7 near Jiquilillo, Nicaragua on 19 June at 10 km; M4.6 near Masachapa, Nicaragua on 15 June at 10 km; M4.5 near Cárdenas, Nicaragua on 29 June at 189 km.
