Every natural event our monitoring has flagged near a submarine cable - newest first. Each entry shows what happened and whether our latency measurements detected any impact.
M5.2 earthquake · 77 km S of Gorontalo, Indonesia
On June 5, 2026, a M5.2 earthquake struck approximately 77 km south of Gorontalo, Indonesia. This event is located in an area where several submarine cable systems have landing points within a 350km radius.
The affected cables include the Barat Timur Indonesia-2 (BTI-2), Indonesia Tengah Cable Systems, Luwuk Tutuyan Cable System, and Palapa Ring Middle, all of which land at Luwuk, Indonesia. Additionally, the Asia Connect Cable-1 (ACC-1) and Bifrost cables, both landing in Manado, Indonesia, are also within this radius. Our monitoring currently shows 1 latency anomaly on ACC-1 with an average latency increase of approximately 155 milliseconds over the past week, while no active alerts have been reported for any other cables in the region.
M4.9 earthquake · 70 km SW of Modisi, Indonesia
The submarine cable network remains stable with no anomalies detected over the past 24 hours from 4157 latency checks across 650 cables. The network is performing optimally and all critical systems are functioning without issue.
On June 4, 2026, a M4.9 earthquake occurred 70 km southwest of Modisi, Indonesia. While several cables with landing points within 350km of the epicenter were affected, our latency measurements indicate that they continue to operate normally and show no impact from the seismic event. The network is robust and continues to provide reliable service.

The network remains stable with 4226 latency checks conducted over the last 24 hours across 650 submarine cables, detecting no anomalies or active alerts. This indicates a consistent and reliable global connection.
A recent seismic event on June 4, 2026, near Manokwari, Indonesia (M4.5 earthquake, 88 km west), did not impact the submarine cables in the vicinity. The Palapa Ring East cable, which has a landing point within 350km of the event, is operating normally as indicated by our latency measurements, showing no changes from baseline performance.
M4.9 earthquake · 58 km NNE of Labuan Bajo, Indonesia
On June 3, 2026, a magnitude 4.9 earthquake struck approximately 58 km NNE of Labuan Bajo, Indonesia.
The affected region includes several submarine cables with landing points within 350km: the Sape-Labuan Bajo-Ende-Kupang cable (landing at Labuan Bajo, 56km from the epicenter), the Indonesia Tengah Cable Systems (Labuhan Bajo, 59km away), and the Denpasar-Waingapu Cable Systems as well as Palapa Ring East (both landing at Waingapu, 179km distant). Our monitoring currently shows 1 latency anomaly on the network, but no active alerts. These cables are not actively measured from our current vantage point, and there is no indication of damage beyond the observed latency issues.
M5.08 earthquake · 64 km W of Petrolia, CA
On June 3, 2026, a magnitude 5.08 earthquake struck approximately 64 km west of Petrolia, California. This event is located near major submarine cable landing points.
The affected cables include Echo (landing at Eureka, CA), TPU (also landing at Eureka, CA), and FASTER (landing at Bandon, OR). Our latency monitoring indicates that the Echo and TPU cables are experiencing average latencies of 199ms and 188ms respectively, with seven days of data collected from each. The ORCA cable, which lands closer to the event but is not actively measured, has no reported issues at this time. FASTER shows an average latency of 154ms over a period of seven days.
M4.57 earthquake · 6 km WNW of Kahaluu-Keauhou, Hawaii
On June 3, 2026, a M4.57 earthquake occurred approximately 6 km WNW of Kahaluu-Keauhou, Hawaii. This event is located within a radius of 350km from several submarine cables with landing points in the region.
The affected submarine cables include:
- Southern Cross Cable Network (SCCN): Located at Spencer Beach, HI, USA, which is about 52km from the earthquake. Our monitoring shows an average latency increase of ~169ms over seven days.
- Hawaii Inter-Island Cable System (HICS), Hawaii Island Fibre Network (HIFN), and Honotua: All landing at Kawaihae, HI, USA, within 54km of the event. These cables have not shown any active latency anomalies or measurements.
- Paniolo Cable Network, located at Kawaihae, HI, USA, also within 54km from the earthquake; it has reported an average latency increase of ~178ms over three days.
No damage to these cables has been confirmed as of yet. However, due to the proximity and nature of the event, we are closely monitoring the situation for any potential impacts on network performance.
M4.6 earthquake · 6 km NW of El Cortezo, Panama
The network status remains stable with 4283 latency checks conducted over the past 24 hours, revealing no anomalies and zero active alerts. The submarine cables are operating without any disruptions, ensuring reliable connectivity.
For context, a M4.6 earthquake occurred on June 3, 2026, near El Cortezo, Panama. All submarine cables with landing points within 350km of the event have shown normal operation and our latency measurements indicate no impact from the seismic activity. The network continues to function smoothly, providing uninterrupted service.
M4.5 earthquake · 30 km WNW of Titahi Bay, New Zealand
The network remains stable with 4247 latency checks conducted over the past 24 hours across 646 submarine cables, revealing no anomalies or active alerts. This indicates that all monitored cables are functioning without issues.
A recent seismic event on June 2, 2026, near Titahi Bay, New Zealand, involved a M4.5 earthquake approximately 30 km to the WNW of the area. The submarine cables with landing points within 350km - such as Aqualink, Cook Strait, Nelson-Levin, and Tasman Ring Network - are currently operating normally, and our latency measurements show no impact from this event.
M6.2 earthquake · 22 km WSW of Scarcelli, Italy
The submarine cable network remains stable with no anomalies detected over the last 24 hours from 4264 latency checks across 646 cables. Our system continues to operate without any disruptions or alerts.
As a reminder, on June 2, 2026, a M6.2 earthquake occurred near Scarcelli, Italy. The submarine cables within the vicinity of this event are currently operating normally and our latency measurements indicate no impact from the seismic activity. All monitored cables in range continue to function as expected.
M6 earthquake · 33 km NW of Valparaíso, Chile
The submarine cable network remains stable with no anomalies detected over the past 24 hours from our 1852 latency checks across 517 cables. This indicates that the current operational status is calm and robust.
As a context to recent events, on June 1, 2026, an M6 earthquake occurred near Valparaíso, Chile. The submarine cables with landing points within 350km of this event are currently operating normally, as confirmed by our latency measurements which show no impact from the seismic activity.
M4.6 earthquake · Nicobar Islands, India region
On May 31, 2026, a M4.6 earthquake struck near the Nicobar Islands, India region. Our monitoring currently indicates no latency anomalies on the network, but there is one active alert related to this event.
The Chennai-Andaman & Nicobar Islands Cable (CANI), which lands at Kamorta, India, 194km from the earthquake's epicenter, is within the affected region. As of now, we have not observed any significant impact on our latency measurements for this cable. However, due to the proximity of the event, ongoing monitoring remains critical.
M5.6 earthquake · 137 km SSE of Oistins, Barbados
