On June 29, 2026 at 21:46 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 155 km NW of Tobelo, Indonesia, at a depth of 35.0 km and coordinates 2.6115°, 126.9262°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 21 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 406 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
