Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported a magnitude 4.9 quake in Indonesia near Poso, Kabupaten Poso, Sulawesi Tengah, only 13 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the evening on Thursday, July 24th, 2025, at 9:10 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10. 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.
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 Masamba (pop. 38,000) located 69 km from the epicenter, and Poso (pop. 47,500) 71 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Palopo (pop. 190,900) located 119 km from the epicenter.
