On June 1, 2026 at 22:37 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 86 km WSW of Ternate, Indonesia, at a depth of 67.5 km and coordinates 0.4901°, 126.6704°.
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.
