People likely experienced very weak shaking there. Several smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of  Indonesia, Jakarta, 157 km (97 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake was probably felt as very weak shaking.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry66 km (41 mi)N of epicenterPelabuhanratu(pop: 109,500)II: Very weakKabupaten Sukabumi, Jawa BaratIndonesia89 km (55 mi)NE of epicenterSukabumi(pop: 360,600)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia95 km (59 mi)N of epicenterCicurug(pop: 89,000)II: Very weakKabupaten Sukabumi, Jawa BaratIndonesia104 km (65 mi)N of epicenterCaringin(pop: 91,800)II: Very weakBogor Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia112 km (70 mi)NE of epicenterCianjur(pop: 174,600)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia114 km (71 mi)N of epicenterBogor(pop: 1,127,400)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia115 km (71 mi)E of epicenterBanjar(pop: 201,000)II: Very weakKabupaten Bandung, Jawa BaratIndonesia116 km (72 mi)N of epicenterCiampea(pop: 207,200)II: Very weakBogor Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia121 km (75 mi)NE of epicenterCiranjang-hilir(pop: 77,800)II: Very weakKabupaten Cianjur, Jawa BaratIndonesia129 km (80 mi)N of epicenterCibinong(pop: 363,400)II: Very weakBogor Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia129 km (80 mi)N of epicenterCiteureup(pop: 214,700)II: Very weakBogor Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia131 km (81 mi)NE of epicenterSoreang(pop: 116,800)II: Very weakKabupaten Bandung, Jawa BaratIndonesia131 km (82 mi)N of epicenterParung(pop: 123,100)II: Very weakBogor Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia134 km (83 mi)N of epicenterSawangan(pop: 165,600)II: Very weakKota Depok, Jawa BaratIndonesia136 km (85 mi)N of epicenterDepok(pop: 2,145,400)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia137 km (85 mi)N of epicenterRangkasbitung(pop: 137,000)II: Very weakKabupaten Lebak, BantenIndonesia137 km (85 mi)NE of epicenterBanjaran(pop: 165,000)II: Very weakKabupaten Bandung, Jawa BaratIndonesia138 km (86 mi)NE of epicenterPadalarang(pop: 184,200)II: Very weakWest Bandung Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia139 km (87 mi)NE of epicenterMargahayukencana(pop: 83,100)II: Very weakKabupaten Bandung, Jawa BaratIndonesia140 km (87 mi)N of epicenterPamulang(pop: 174,600)II: Very weakBogor Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia141 km (88 mi)N of epicenterSerpong(pop: 80,200)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia142 km (88 mi)N of epicenterCileungsir(pop: 288,300)II: Very weakBogor Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia143 km (89 mi)NE of epicenterCimahi(pop: 590,800)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia146 km (90 mi)NE of epicenterBandung(pop: 2,444,200)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia146 km (90 mi)NE of epicenterBandung(pop: 2,444,200)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia148 km (92 mi)N of epicenterCikupa(pop: 174,000)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia150 km (93 mi)N of epicenterCiputat(pop: 207,900)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia153 km (95 mi)NE of epicenterLembang(pop: 183,100)II: Very weakWest Bandung Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia156 km (97 mi)N of epicenterPasarkemis(pop: 273,700)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia156 km (97 mi)NE of epicenterPurwakarta(pop: 179,200)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia157 km (97 mi)N of epicenterJakarta(pop: 8,540,100)II: Very weakDaerah Khusus Ibukota JakartaIndonesia157 km (98 mi)E of epicenterPaseh(pop: 126,200)II: Very weakKabupaten Bandung, Jawa BaratIndonesia159 km (99 mi)NE of epicenterCileunyi(pop: 111,500)II: Very weakKabupaten Bandung, Jawa BaratIndonesia160 km (99 mi)N of epicenterBekasi(pop: 2,564,900)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia160 km (100 mi)N of epicenterKresek(pop: 110,200)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia162 km (101 mi)N of epicenterSepatan(pop: 118,400)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia164 km (102 mi)NE of epicenterCikarang(pop: 106,500)II: Very weakKabupaten Bekasi, Jawa BaratIndonesia165 km (102 mi)N of epicenterTeluknaga(pop: 128,300)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia165 km (103 mi)E of epicenterGarut(pop: 131,800)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia169 km (105 mi)NE of epicenterCikampek(pop: 145,600)II: Very weakKabupaten Karawang, Jawa BaratIndonesiaNotes:(*) Shaking intensity according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) and estimated using seismic models.User-reports for this quakeThere are no user reports for this quake yet.If you felt it, be the first to report it!Get the Android appCompare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data.

When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 1 km2 (0 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (1 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Mar 5, 2026 11:35 am (Universal Time)5 minutes ago4.032 km0 km - This quakeJava, IndonesiaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 26 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 209 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 41.7 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.1 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 10.5 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 2.1 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 25 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 119 quakes per year (or 9.9 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 207 quakes per year (or 17.2 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 209 quakes per year (or 17.4 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 3 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 40 to 45 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
