Moderate magnitude-4.9 earthquake reported 80 km northeast of Wamena, Indonesia

An earthquake of magnitude 4.9 occurred 12 minutes ago, 80 km northeast of Wamena, Indonesia, according to Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency.
The quake struck at an intermediate depth of 88. km beneath the epicenter near Wamena, Jayawijaya Regency, Highland Papua, Indonesia, early Wednesday morning, October 7th, 2026, at 6:56 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake 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.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake, which also listed it as a magnitude 4.9 earthquake.
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 Elelim (pop. 5,900), located 12 km from the epicenter; Kobakma (pop. 13,100), 61 km away; and Wamena (pop. 41,800), 80 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.
