Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported a magnitude 4.8 earthquake in Indonesia near Bikar, Tambrauw Regency, Southwest Papua, only 6 minutes ago. The earthquake struck early on Sunday morning, October 25th, 2026, at 6:41 am local time, at a shallow depth of 10. km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the earthquake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from RaspberryShake’s citizen-seismograph network, which also listed the earthquake at magnitude 4.8.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the earthquake 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.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Bikar (pop. 210), located 26 km from the epicenter.
