A 5.2 magnitude quake occurred offshore from Indonesia, as reported by a major geophysical agency in the United States. The event unfolded at sea and was felt at a considerable distance from land, with the epicenter located in the offshore region rather than onshore terrain. The agency noted that the tremor was registered 295 kilometers from the village of Tual, a settlement with tens of thousands of residents. The depth of the focus was measured at about 113.5 kilometers beneath the sea floor. In the immediate aftermath, there were no reported casualties or structural damages, and seismologists indicated that the tremor was unlikely to trigger significant impacts on communities or infrastructure in the region.

Earlier in the season, seismologists documented a 4.9 magnitude earthquake near Alaska. Information about casualties or property loss was not provided at that time. The seismic activity in this part of the world is routinely monitored, with agencies issuing rapid assessments to guide local responders and residents about safety protocols and aftershock risks.

In addition, the Kamchatka Branch of the Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported activity in Kamchatka Bay, along the eastern coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula. The event registered at 5.2 magnitude, but authorities confirmed that there were no fatalities or significant material damage associated with the quake. Such events highlight the demanding nature of offshore and coastal seismic activity in the North Pacific and the northern Pacific Ocean shelf. Local authorities continued to monitor aftershocks and issued standard guidance to residents and maritime operators to stay informed through official channels.
