In summary, the M5.7 Mid Indian Ridge Quake had a magnitude of 5.7 on the Richter scale and occurred on November 3, 2014 at 8:48 am UTC in the Mid Indian Ridge, a divergent plate boundary in the Indian Ocean. While it may have caused minor damage and shaking in nearby areas, it is not considered a major event. No tsunami warning was issued as the quake was not large enough to generate a significant tsunami, but local areas may have experienced minor changes in sea level. The quake is important for scientific study and monitoring of the Earth's tectonic plates.

It was ~ 480 km SE of Amsterdam Island. Roughly equidistant from Western Australia, Antarctica and Africa
