Earthquakes in the Sudan — December 2025
1 earthquakes were recorded in the Sudan during December 2025, an average of 0.0 per day.
1 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 10 km.
The month's largest event in the Sudan was a magnitude 4.4 earthquake near Tokār, Sudan on 24 December 2025 at 01:55 UTC. A magnitude 4.4 earthquake radiates roughly 60 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the the Sudan monthly average of 1 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month.
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.
That is 25% below the 1 events the Sudan averages per month across the 3 months on record.
