On 24 June 2026, 22:30 UTC, an earthquake of magnitude M6.9 was recorded in the region: 33 km ENE of Noda, Japan.

  • Coordinates: 40.2515° N, 142.1614° E
  • Depth: 34 km
  • Number of “did you feel it” reports (USGS DYFI): 95 Moment tensor diagram (focal mechanism)

The blue and white areas of the diagram show the directions of compression and extension during the rupture; the shape indicates the fault type (normal, reverse, or strike-slip). The solution yields two mathematically equivalent fault planes — which one is the actual rupture plane is usually unknown without additional geological context:

Plane Strike Dip Rake
1 32° 63° 107°
2 177° 32° 60°

The data is preliminary (status: reviewed) and may be revised by USGS as additional information becomes available.
