Just 12 minutes ago, a 4.6-magnitude earthquake struck near Gorontalo, Kota Gorontalo, Indonesia. The tremor was recorded around noon on Tuesday, April 8th, 2025, at 12:35 pm local time, at an intermediate to considerable depth of 245. km below the surface.
The event was filed by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.8 earthquake. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 4.8.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Modisi (pop. 560, 71 km away), and Gorontalo (pop. 198,500, 88 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
