Just 9 minutes ago, a magnitude-5.1 earthquake struck near Labuan Bajo, West Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The tremor was recorded on Sunday afternoon, October 18th, 2026, at 4:00 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 10 km below the surface.
The event was reported by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake, which listed the quake at magnitude 5.3. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.3.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage but was probably felt by many people as light vibrations in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Kondas (pop. 500), located 54 km from the epicenter; Ruteng (pop. 41,500), 56 km away; and Labuan Bajo (pop. 188,700), 57 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the magnitude and depth if they change and follow up if other significant news about the quake becomes available. If you’re in the area, please send us your experience through our reporting mechanism, either online or via our mobile app. This will help us provide more first-hand updates to anyone around
