People likely experienced 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, 162 km (101 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(*)RegionCountry73 km (45 mi)N of epicenterPelabuhanratu(pop: 109,500)III: WeakKabupaten Sukabumi, Jawa BaratIndonesia91 km (57 mi)NE of epicenterSukabumi(pop: 360,600)III: WeakJawa BaratIndonesia99 km (62 mi)N of epicenterCicurug(pop: 89,000)II: Very weakKabupaten Sukabumi, Jawa BaratIndonesia108 km (67 mi)N of epicenterCaringin(pop: 91,800)II: Very weakBogor Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia110 km (68 mi)NE of epicenterBanjar(pop: 201,000)II: Very weakKabupaten Bandung, Jawa BaratIndonesia112 km (70 mi)NE of epicenterCianjur(pop: 174,600)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia120 km (74 mi)N of epicenterBogor(pop: 1,127,400)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia121 km (75 mi)NE of epicenterCiranjang-hilir(pop: 77,800)II: Very weakKabupaten Cianjur, Jawa BaratIndonesia122 km (76 mi)N of epicenterCiampea(pop: 207,200)II: Very weakBogor Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia127 km (79 mi)NE of epicenterSoreang(pop: 116,800)II: Very weakKabupaten Bandung, Jawa BaratIndonesia133 km (83 mi)NE of epicenterBanjaran(pop: 165,000)II: Very weakKabupaten Bandung, Jawa BaratIndonesia133 km (83 mi)N of epicenterCibinong(pop: 363,400)II: Very weakBogor Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia134 km (83 mi)N of epicenterCiteureup(pop: 214,700)II: Very weakBogor Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia136 km (84 mi)NE of epicenterMargahayukencana(pop: 83,100)II: Very weakKabupaten Bandung, Jawa BaratIndonesia136 km (85 mi)NE of epicenterPadalarang(pop: 184,200)II: Very weakWest Bandung Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia136 km (85 mi)NE of epicenterPameungpeuk(pop: 48,300)II: Very weakKabupaten Bandung, Jawa BaratIndonesia137 km (85 mi)N of epicenterParung(pop: 123,100)II: Very weakBogor Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia140 km (87 mi)NE of epicenterCimahi(pop: 590,800)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia140 km (87 mi)N of epicenterSawangan(pop: 165,600)II: Very weakKota Depok, Jawa BaratIndonesia141 km (88 mi)N of epicenterDepok(pop: 2,145,400)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia142 km (88 mi)NE of epicenterBandung(pop: 2,444,200)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia142 km (88 mi)NE of epicenterBandung(pop: 2,444,200)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia146 km (91 mi)N of epicenterPamulang(pop: 174,600)II: Very weakBogor Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia146 km (91 mi)N of epicenterCileungsir(pop: 288,300)II: Very weakBogor Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia148 km (92 mi)N of epicenterSerpong(pop: 80,200)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia150 km (93 mi)NE of epicenterLembang(pop: 183,100)II: Very weakWest Bandung Regency, Jawa BaratIndonesia152 km (95 mi)NE of epicenterPaseh(pop: 126,200)II: Very weakKabupaten Bandung, Jawa BaratIndonesia155 km (96 mi)NE of epicenterCileunyi(pop: 111,500)II: Very weakKabupaten Bandung, Jawa BaratIndonesia156 km (97 mi)N of epicenterCikupa(pop: 174,000)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia156 km (97 mi)NE of epicenterPurwakarta(pop: 179,200)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia157 km (97 mi)N of epicenterCiputat(pop: 207,900)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia162 km (101 mi)N of epicenterJakarta(pop: 8,540,100)II: Very weakDaerah Khusus Ibukota JakartaIndonesia164 km (102 mi)N of epicenterPasarkemis(pop: 273,700)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia164 km (102 mi)N of epicenterBekasi(pop: 2,564,900)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia168 km (104 mi)NE of epicenterCikarang(pop: 106,500)II: Very weakKabupaten Bekasi, Jawa BaratIndonesia169 km (105 mi)N of epicenterKresek(pop: 110,200)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia169 km (105 mi)N of epicenterSepatan(pop: 118,400)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia169 km (105 mi)NE of epicenterCikampek(pop: 145,600)II: Very weakKabupaten Karawang, Jawa BaratIndonesia172 km (107 mi)N of epicenterTeluknaga(pop: 128,300)II: Very weakJawa BaratIndonesia175 km (109 mi)NE of epicenterSumedang(pop: 200,000)II: Very weakJawa 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!Compare 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 3 km2 (1 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 3 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jul 20, 2025 04:47 am (Universal Time)9 minutes ago4.418 km0 km - This quakeJava, IndonesiaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 25 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 187 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 62.5 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.07 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 13.9 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 2.3 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 27.4 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 124 quakes per year (or 10.3 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 185 quakes per year (or 15.4 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 187 quakes per year (or 15.6 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 60 to 65 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
