7.1 Magnitude Earthquake Reported in Malaysia

On 22 February 2026 at 16:57:46 UTC (23:57:46 local time), a deep earthquake was recorded in the northern region of Malaysia. πŸ“ Location: 6.8285°N, 116.2637°E πŸ“Œ Distance: 97 km north of Kota Kinabalu πŸ“Œ 62 km WSW of Kudat 🌍 Depth: 619.8 km (Very Deep Focus) πŸ“ Distance from my location(Chilas,Pakistan): 5,365 km This was a very deep-focus earthquake, occurring at nearly 620 km beneath the Earth's surface. Earthquakes at such depths usually cause minimal surface damage but provide valuable insight into tectonic plate movements beneath the region. Deep earthquakes like this are often associated with subduction zones, where one tectonic plate moves beneath another. Monitoring such events helps scientists better understand Earth’s internal processes. Stay connected for more seismic updates and detailed analysis.
