A magnitude 4.5 earthquake near Kefamenanu, North Central Timor Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, was reported only 5 minutes ago by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in Indonesia. The earthquake occurred at a moderately shallow depth of 45. km beneath the epicenter in the evening on Friday, August 8th, 2025, at 8:00 pm local time. 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.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Naisano Dua (pop. 2,300) located 65 km from the epicenter, Kefamenanu (pop. 48,200) 79 km away, Soe (pop. 40,200) 102 km away, and Atambua (pop. 82,200) 110 km away.
