Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported a magnitude 4.7 quake in Indonesia near Jayapura, Kota Jayapura, Provinsi Papua, only 9 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Wednesday, October 29th, 2025, at 6:57 am local time at a shallow depth of 28. 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.2. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.7.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Abepura (pop. 62,200) located 104 km from the epicenter, and Jayapura (pop. 404,000) 114 km away.
