2025-06-02 10:41:49 UTC (2025-06-02) · approx. 5:41 PM UTC+7 local
On June 2, 2025 at 10:41 UTC, a magnitude 4.7 shallow crustal earthquake struck 106 km SW of Pagar Alam, Indonesia, at a depth of 62.9 km and coordinates -4.7319°, 102.6005°. This earthquake was detected by 46 seismic stations with good location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 340, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.7 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 169 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.1 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
The epicenter is located in Indonesia, a region characterized by the convergence of the Indo-Australian, Eurasian, and Philippine Sea plates, forming the Sunda-Banda arc system. The nearest mapped fault system is the Sunda megathrust. View all earthquakes in Indonesia.
