A 5.4 magnitude earthquake rattled the Andaman Sea on November 9, 2025, at 12:06 PM IST, with the tremors being noticeable across the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. As of now, there are no confirmed reports of any injuries or significant damage to property. The National Centre for Seismology reported the earthquake originated at a depth of 90 kilometers, with coordinates 12.49°N and 93.83°E. Experts attribute the seismic activity to the dynamic geological processes involving the Indo-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates in this highly active zone. While a 5.4 magnitude is considered moderate, the quake’s depth likely influenced the felt intensity on the surface. The German Research Centre for Geosciences provided a reading of 6.07 for the magnitude. Local officials are on alert and have advised the islanders to stay informed and prepared. The incident highlights the ongoing seismic risks in the region.
