On July 29, 2026 at 16:12 UTC, a magnitude 4.3 intermediate depth earthquake struck 64 km WNW of Tomohon, Indonesia, at a depth of 245.6 km and coordinates 1.4659°, 124.2466°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 43 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 558 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
