An earthquake of magnitude 4.7 occurred early afternoon on Friday, May 2nd, 2025, at 2:07 pm local time near Bukittinggi, Kota Bukittinggi, Sumatra Barat, Indonesia, as reported by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 10. km. 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.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Bukittinggi (pop. 121,000) located 24 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Payakumbuh (pop. 139,600) located 34 km from the epicenter, Solok (pop. 73,400) 39 km away, Pariaman (pop. 92,200) 44 km away, Padang (pop. 909,000) 53 km away, and Sijunjung (pop. 27,800) 59 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If
