Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported a magnitude 4.8 quake in Indonesia near Bengkulu, Kota Bengkulu, only 11 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early afternoon on Tuesday, May 27th, 2025, at 3:09 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 9. 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 Bengkulu (pop. 373,600) located 74 km from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Curup (pop. 46,200) located 107 km from the epicenter.
