An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 occurred only 10 minutes ago 119 km northeast of Baukau, Timor-Leste, Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported.
The quake hit at a great depth of 389. km beneath the epicenter near Baukau, Baucau, Timor-Leste, early morning on Tuesday, August 19th, 2025, at 5:38 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 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 5.2 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.2, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.2.
Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Baukau (pop. 16,000) located 119 km from the epicenter, and Lospalos (pop. 17,200) 121 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake
