An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 occurred around noon on Wednesday, May 21st, 2025, at 1:32 pm local time near Kefamenanu, North Central Timor Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, as reported by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a moderately shallow depth of 56. km.
