The National Center for Seismology (NCS) reported that the quake, measuring magnitude 5.4, occurred at 12:06 pm (IST) at a depth of 90 km beneath the Earth’s crust.<\/p>\n

“EQ of M: 5.4, On: 09\/11\/2025 12:06:28 IST, Lat: 12.49 N, Long: 93.83 E, Depth: 90 Km, Location: Andaman Sea,” the NCS said in a post on X. The tremors were felt across the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, but no casualties or damage have been reported so far.<\/p>\n

Malaysia’s meteorological department, Jabatan Meteorologi Malaysia, later confirmed that the quake posed no danger to its coastline.<\/p>\n

“Simple M5.8 earthquake in the Andaman Islands at 2:38 pm, 9 November 2025. The epicenter is at 12.5° North and 93.7° East with a depth of 124 km. 117km Southeast of North Andaman, India. No tsunami threat to Malaysia,” MET Malaysia said in a post on ‘X’.<\/p>\n

While the NCS estimated the quake’s strength at 5.4, other international monitoring agencies reported slightly different figures. The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) recorded it as a magnitude 6.07 quake at a depth of just 10 km, while the United States Geological Survey (USGS) measured it at 5.5.<\/p>\n

This was a shallow earthquake, such quakes are closer to the surface and tend to cause stronger ground shaking and potentially more damage.<\/p>\n

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands lie within one of the world’s most seismically active regions and are classified as a Zone V seismic area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
