A powerful magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck southeast of Easter Island on October 29, 2026, at 12:49 am GMT-7, according to VolcanoDiscovery.

The U.S. Geological Survey reported the quake's epicenter was located in the Pacific Ocean near the remote island, causing minor damage and triggering small tsunamis, per Asiae.co.kr.

The island's residents are reporting no serious injuries or major structural damage, though some buildings were shaken, Reuters notes.

Easter Island remains largely uninhabited by permanent residents, with most of its population consisting of tourists and researchers, according to cntraveler.com.
