The Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System said there was no potential for a tsunami.

Why It Matters

Indonesia sits atop the Pacific Ring of Fire, a tectonic zone marked by frequent and sometimes devastating earthquakes and volcanic activity. The country is highly vulnerable due to its position at the convergence of several major tectonic plates, including the Indo-Australian, Pacific, and Eurasian plates.

For a week now, the town of Vélez in Colombia has been cut off due to a geological fault that damaged a large stretch of a highway in the department of Santander connecting to Boyacá and the Caribbean coast. So far, authorities have no solutions to restore mobility in the area.

The landslide on the Transversal del Carare highway is about 1.9 miles from where the epicenter occurred. This situation has affected over 14,000 people who are part of the Vélez community, primarily engaged in agriculture.

Various videos of the damage caused by this geological fault in the department of Santander are circulating on social media, impacting many users. On TikTok, it has been shared over 177,000 times.

The mayor, Orlando Ariza, has stated that the magnitude of the disaster exceeds the local government's response capacity, and since November 4th, they have failed to ensure the necessary humanitarian aid for the affected families and individuals, according to the portal Seguimiento.CO.

An intermediate magnitude 6.0 earthquake was reported in the morning near Severo-Kuril'sk, Sakhalin Oblast, Russia.

According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the quake hit on Wednesday, November 5th, 2025, at 10:49 am local time at an intermediate depth of 76. 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 Geophysical Survey of the Russian Academy of Sciences (KB-GS-RAS) which listed the quake at magnitude 6.0 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 5.4, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.7, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.7.

A magnitude 6.3 earthquake has killed at least 20 people as it struck northern Afghanistan near the city of Mazar-i-Sharif.

The Taliban Ministry of Public Health reported the death toll on Monday, raising the estimate as search efforts began. A further 320 people are reported to have been injured.

The disaster adds to the list of deadly quakes to hit the country since the Taliban took power in 2021, which has tested the movement's capacity to govern as foreign aid dwindles. Just two months ago, an earthquake in the east killed more than 2,000.

The quake struck at 12:59am on Monday (20:29 GMT) at a depth of 28km (17 miles) near Mazar-i-Sharif, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

Health Ministry spokesman Sharafat Zaman stressed to journalists that the death toll of 20 was only preliminary.
