Indonesia was shaken near Pelabuhanratu, Kabupaten Sukabumi, Jawa Barat, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.0 only 8 minutes ago, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter near Pelabuhanratu, Kabupaten Sukabumi, Jawa Barat, Indonesia, around noon on Sunday, April 6th, 2025, at 1:55 pm local time. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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 5.1 earthquake.
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 Pelabuhanratu (pop. 109,500) located 112 km from the epicenter.
