An earthquake of magnitude 6.0 occurred only 9 minutes ago 147 km north of Baukau, Timor-Leste, Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported.
The quake hit at a great depth of 477. km beneath the epicenter near Baukau, Baucau, Timor-Leste, in the morning on Thursday, May 15th, 2025, at 9:50 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 5.5 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.6, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.6.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Baukau (pop. 16,000) located 147 km from the epicenter.
