The month's largest event in Vanuatu was a magnitude 5.2 earthquake near Isangel, Vanuatu on 11 June 2025 at 20:45 UTC. A magnitude 5.2 earthquake radiates roughly 951 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Vanuatu monthly average of 13 events over the period we cover, and down from the 17 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 6 in the magnitude 4 range, 4 in the magnitude 5 range.
Activity peaked on 11 June, when 2 events were recorded.
The month's largest events were M5.2 near Isangel, Vanuatu on 11 June at 85 km; M5.2 near Sola, Vanuatu on 11 June at 225 km; M5.0 near Port-Vila, Vanuatu on 13 June at 157 km.
