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 10 km2 (4 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 5 km (3 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Sep 23, 2025 01:20 am (Universal Time)10 minutes ago5.024 km0 km - This quakeIndonesia: Off W Coast of Northern SumatraMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake10 minutes agoSep 23, 2025 01:20 GMT / Sep 23, 2025 01:20 am (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: 3.009 / 95.4971: Indonesia: Off W Coast of Northern SumatraSource: EMSCOther sources: GFZ: 5.0 / 10 kmDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!',5.0,50, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',3.009,95.4971,'10 minutes ago: Mag. 5.0, Indonesia: Off W Coast of Northern Sumatra','Earthquake: Mag 5.0 / 24 km (15 mi) depth10 minutes agoSep 23, 2025 01:20 GMT / Sep 23, 2025 01:20 am (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: 3.009 / 95.4971: Indonesia: Off W Coast of Northern SumatraSource: EMSCOther sources: GFZ: 5.0 / 10 kmDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!','default'); // this will be local to this table obj function putQuakeOnMap(id,lat,lon,time,title,html,mag,zIndex) { qTableOlder.putQuakeOnMap(id,lat,lon,time,title,html,mag,zIndex); } map2.circleScale=0.5;qTableOlder.usePalette=1;qTableOlder.startVal=qTableOlder.referenceTime-(80*365.25*86400);qTableOlder.endVal=qTableOlder.referenceTime; qTableOlder.assignMap(map2); (async function(){await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r,4000));map2.map.setZoom(7)})(); })(); (async function(){while(typeof mkRequest=="undefined")await new Promise(r=>setTimeout(r,500));mkRequest("https://server2.allquakes.com/api/getPrevious.php?quakeId=22194108","get","",function(httpObj){let r=httpObj.responseText,d=document;if(""!=r&&200==httpObj.status){let o=JSON.parse(r);if(!o){d.getElementById("olderQuakesSection").remove();return};let table=d.getElementById("qTableOlder");table.innerHTML+=o.tableRows,qTableOlder.alternateBg(),d.getElementById("placeholder_largestQText").innerHTML=o.html,d.getElementById("sectionPreviousCWrap").style.display="",eval(o.js)}})})();]]>Support Us – Help Us Enhance Our Services!We’re passionate about delivering the latest volcano and earthquake data from around the globe — just for you.
