The last earthquake in the USGS “past day” feed shown in the results was a 5.2 magnitude quake near Dunhuang, China at 2026-06-23 15:29:02 UTC. A broader recent-events list also shows a 7.5 earthquake in Venezuela on 2026-06-24 22:05:11 GMT from another public earthquake tracker.

Quick Scoop

If you mean “the most recent earthquake worldwide,” the exact answer depends on which live feed you use, because different services update at slightly different times. The most recent event I found in the USGS list was the Dunhuang, China quake, while another recent tracker had a later event in Venezuela.

Recent examples

  • USGS past day feed: 5.2 near Dunhuang, China, at 2026-06-23 15:29:02 UTC.

Note

Earthquake feeds refresh constantly, so “last earthquake” can change within minutes.
