Earthquakes in Yemen — April 2025
2 earthquakes were recorded in Yemen during April 2025, an average of 0.1 per day.
2 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 Yemen was a magnitude 4.6 earthquake near Aden, Yemen on 26 April 2025 at 03:49 UTC. A magnitude 4.6 earthquake radiates roughly 120 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Yemen monthly average of 2 events over the period we cover, and up from the 1 recorded the previous 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 2 in the magnitude 4 range.
Activity peaked on 26 April, when 2 events were recorded.
The month's largest events were M4.6 near Aden, Yemen on 26 April at 10 km; M4.4 near Aden, Yemen on 26 April at 10 km.
