An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 occurred early evening on Wednesday, August 20th, 2025, at 6:40 pm local time near Atambua, Belu Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, as reported by the United States Geological Survey.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at an intermediate depth of 103.09 km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. Magnitude and other quake parameters can still change in the coming hours as the agency continues to process seismic data.
A second report was later issued by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 4.5 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency at magnitude 4.3, The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) at magnitude 4.6, and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 4.6.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Kefamenanu (pop. 48,200) located 65 km from the epicenter, Atambua (pop. 82,200) 74 km away, Naisano Dua (pop. 2,300) 93 km away, Soe (pop. 40,200) 106 km away, and Maliana (pop. 22,000) 107 km away.
