Over the past 30 days, Indonesia has recorded 44 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. 5 reached magnitude 5.0 or higher. 39 landed between M4.0 and M4.9. By depth: 35 shallow (<70 km), 4 intermediate (70–300 km), 5 deep-focus (>300 km). 19 of the epicenters were offshore. 3 events produced at least one felt report, totalling 13 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. Focal depths ranged from 10.0 km to 601.6 km. All 44 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist.
Leading the list is a magnitude 5.8 event near 76 km S of Tambolaka, Indonesia at 35.5 km depth and triggered a green PAGER alert. The second-ranked event, at magnitude 5.4 near 47 km NW of Pante Makasar, Timor Leste, trails by 0.4 magnitude units — a narrow gap, indicating two comparably energetic events in the current window. Rounding out the top three is a magnitude 5.2 earthquake near 45 km NE of Sape, Indonesia.
