Volcano Discovery reports a magnitude 4.6 earthquake reported off Honduras coast

Volcano Discovery reports a magnitude 4.6 earthquake struck the Caribbean Sea near the coast of Honduras on the evening of Tuesday, September 30, 2025, at approximately 8:35 p.m. local time (GMT -6).

According to initial seismic reports, the depth of the quake could not be confirmed but is believed to have been relatively shallow, a factor that often increases the likelihood of the tremor being felt on land.

Residents in coastal communities closest to the epicenter reported light shaking, though there were no immediate accounts of damage or injuries. The event serves as a reminder of the seismic activity common in the Caribbean region, where several tectonic plates converge.

Authorities have not issued any tsunami warnings, and monitoring agencies continue to assess the situation.
