Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported a magnitude 2.8 quake in Indonesia near Mataram, Kota Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara, only 24 minutes ago. The earthquake hit late at night on Tuesday, April 8th, 2025, at 11:18 pm local time at a shallow depth of 17. km. 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 2.8 earthquake as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Senggigi (pop. 5,000) located 5 km from the epicenter, and Mataram (pop. 429,700) 8 km away. In Gili Air (pop. 1,800, 19 km away), Lembar (pop. 10,000, 22 km away), Praya (pop. 35,200, 29 km away), Karangasem (pop. 31,900, 51 km away), Amlapura (pop. 31,900, 51 km away), Amlapura (pop. 31,900, 52 km away), and Selong (pop. 92,500, 53 km away), the quake was probably not felt.

An earthquake of magnitude 5.6 occurred after midnight on Wednesday, April 9th, 2025, at 12:26 am local time near Yonakuni, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa, Japan, as reported by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at an intermediate depth of 115. km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.6 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.6.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Yonakuni (pop. 1,700) located 33 km from the epicenter, and Ishigaki (pop. 44,800) 107 km away.
