An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 occurred around noon on Monday, May 19th, 2025, at 12:59 pm local time near Lahewa, North Nias Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia, as reported by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 18. 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 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 Lahewa (pop. 24,500) located 26 km from the epicenter, and Gunungsitoli (pop. 136,700) 52 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Teluk Dalam (pop. 25,800) located 97 km from the epicenter.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you’re in the area, please send us your experience through our reporting

An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 occurred in the morning on Monday, May 19th, 2025, at 11:41 am local time near Panabo, Davao del Norte, Davao, Philippines, as reported by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a moderately shallow depth of 45. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 5.0. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 5.1, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.0, and the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) at magnitude 5.2.
Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.
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 New Visayas (pop. 14,800) located 14 km from
