Over the past 30 days, Indonesia has recorded 150 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. 42 reached magnitude 5.0 or higher. 108 landed between M4.0 and M4.9. By depth: 133 shallow (<70 km), 14 intermediate (70–300 km), 3 deep-focus (>300 km). 70 of the epicenters were offshore. 21 events produced at least one felt report, totalling 181 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. Cluster detection flagged 38 aftershock sequences; the largest contained 21 smaller events within 20 km and 72 hours of its mainshock. Focal depths ranged from 9.3 km to 535.0 km. All 150 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist.
