A magnitude 4.7 earthquake near Tiakur, Southwest Maluku Regency, Maluku, Indonesia, was reported only 9 minutes ago by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in Indonesia. The earthquake occurred at an intermediate depth of 129. km beneath the epicenter in the evening on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025, at 9:30 pm 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.8. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 4.8.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Tiakur (pop. 5,200) located 75 km from the epicenter.
