An earthquake of magnitude 4.8 occurred in the morning on Monday, July 6th, 2026, at 11:18 am local time near Valparaiso, Provincia de Valparaíso, Region de Valparaiso, Chile, as reported by the United States Geological Survey.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 29.49 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. Magnitude and other quake parameters can still change in the coming hours as the agency continues to process seismic data.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 4.8 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The National Seismological Center (Centro Sismológico Nacional, CSN) of the University of Chile at magnitude 4.6, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 4.6.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Quintero (pop. 31,900) located 30 km from the epicenter, Concon (pop. 42,200) 43 km away, La Ligua (pop. 32,100) 49 km away, Valparaiso (pop. 282,400) 52 km away, Vina del Mar (pop. 334,200) 52 km away, Quillota (pop. 67,800) 56 km away, Quilpue (pop. 130,300) 59 km away, and Villa Alemana (pop. 97,300) 62 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you’re in the area, please send us your experience through our reporting mechanism, either online or via our mobile app. This will help us provide more first-hand updates to anyone around the globe who wants to know more about this quake.

The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 5.2 quake in Chile near Valparaiso, Provincia de Valparaíso, Region de Valparaiso, only 8 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the morning on Monday, July 6th, 2026, at 11:15 am local time at a shallow depth of 16. km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 5.2 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.3, and The National Seismological Center (Centro Sismológico Nacional, CSN) of the University of Chile at magnitude 5.5.
Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Quintero (pop. 31,900) located 35 km from the epicenter, La Ligua (pop. 32,100) 49 km away, and Concon (pop. 42,200) 49 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Valparaiso (pop. 282,400) located 58 km from the epicenter, Vina del Mar (pop. 334,200) 58 km away, Quillota (pop. 67,800) 61 km away, Quilpue (pop. 130,300) 64 km away, and Villa Alemana (pop. 97,300) 67 km away.

Just 3 minutes ago, a 3.7-magnitude earthquake struck near Glogow, Głogów County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland. The tremor was recorded early evening on Monday, July 6th, 2026, at 6:17 pm local time, at a very shallow depth of 7.10 km below the surface.
The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 3.4. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.4.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Jerzmanowa (pop. 600) located 2 km from the epicenter, Polkowice (pop. 21,600) 8 km away, and Glogow (pop. 65,400) 10 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Lubin (pop. 77,500) located 22 km from the epicenter, Nowa Sol (pop. 40,400) 34 km away, Legnica (pop. 106,000) 42 km away, Leszno (pop. 63,600) 46 km away, and Boleslawiec (pop. 40,700) 48 km away. In Wroclaw (pop. 672,500, 86 km away), the quake was probably not felt.

An earthquake of magnitude 5.3 occurred only 2 minutes ago 49 km north of Valparaiso, Chile, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 16. km beneath the epicenter near Valparaiso, Provincia de Valparaíso, Region de Valparaiso, Chile, in the morning on Monday, July 6th, 2026, at 11:15 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Quintero (pop. 31,900) located 28 km from the epicenter, Concon (pop. 42,200) 41 km away, Valparaiso (pop. 282,400) 49 km away, La Ligua (pop. 32,100) 50 km away, Vina del Mar (pop. 334,200) 50 km away, Quillota (pop. 67,800) 55 km away, and Quilpue (pop. 130,300) 57 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Villa Alemana (pop. 97,300) located 60 km from the epicenter.
