Guam: Magnitude-5.2 offshore earthquake occurs south-southwest of Tamuning at around 12:21 March 25

A magnitude-5.2 offshore earthquake occurred in the North Pacific Ocean off Guam at around 12:21 March 25. The epicenter was about 176 km (109 miles) south-southwest of Tamuning. The tremor occurred at a depth of about 10 km (6 miles), and weak shaking was probably felt throughout the island. There have been no initial reports of damage or casualties as a result of the earthquake; significant damage is unlikely. It could take several hours until authorities can conduct comprehensive damage assessments, especially in remote areas. Aftershocks are possible over the coming days. The event has not prompted any tsunami advisories.

Officials may temporarily shut down transportation infrastructure in the tremor zone to check for damage. Minor disruptions could occur during shutdowns, but service will likely resume quickly if no damage is found. Utility outages are possible, particularly near the earthquake's epicenter.
