WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT FEBRUARY 22, 2026

A very strong magnitude 6.0 earthquake occurred in the South Pacific Ocean 290 km (180 mi) from Fiji. Second M6.0 earthquake in less than 24 hours​

M 6.0 - south of the Fiji Islands
2026-02-22 07:43:26 (UTC)
21.800°S 179.549°E. 653.8 km depth
USGS earthquake alert

While earthquakes in the Fiji region often occur deep (~500km), this event occurred at a noteworthy depth of ~654km. They don't occur much deeper than this. Frank Hoogerbeets

The clustering of stronger tremors is still ongoing with two additional events (M 5.8, M 6.0) in the last hour. Frank Hoogerbeets

In the last 24 hours. (Note that the majority of M≥5.0 earthquakes have occurred in the southwestern Pacific)​

Balleny Islands region (M5.6)
Vanuatu (M5.1)
Barranca Perú (M5.0)
Kuril Islands (M5.8)
South of Fiji Islands (Aftershock M5.3)
Houma Tonga (M5.4)
Namuac Philippines (M5.1)

Tomorrow (Feb 23) a critical planetary geometry involving Venus and Neptune will occur, along with two lunar geometries involving Uranus and Mars.

As of now, the SSGEOS forecast calling for an 80% chance of M5.5 to M6.4 events has been met. Since January 2, there has not been an earthquake exceeding magnitude 6.5 (the M6.5 quake in Mexico on January 2).

Wa this a ghost earthquake ?

M6.5... unconfirmed (uncertain whether an earthquake with these data happened)

A very strong magnitude 6.5 earthquake hit 58 km (36 mi) away from Loei, Changwat Loei, Thailand Volcanodiscovery

The USGS does not recognize this earthquake in Thailand, and the only seismological agency that had reported it was the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), but it later stated that it was an error.​

A GFZ spokesperson confirmed that the agency was no longer reporting a quake in Thailand and was checking whether the initial report was "a glitch". The Thai meteorological service said there was no quake with an epicenter inside Thailand. Reuters​

● New earthquake in Iran

A moderate magnitude 4.2 earthquake hit 56 km (35 mi) away from Mohr, Fars, Iran. This adds to the series of earthquakes that have occurred recently in the region of Iran. Likely it is an aftershock of the N5.2 earthquake on February 02.
