It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!Get the Android appI didn't feel itI felt this quakeIf you were near the epicenter and felt it, please share your experience and submit a short "I felt it" report!

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 13 km2 (5 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 6 km (4 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Apr 15, 2026 10:10 am (GMT +8)16 minutes ago - felt5.1486 km0 km - This quakeJava Sea, Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan, 129 km N of Pulau Medang Island, IndonesiaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeStrongest in 3 yearsThe earthquake was the strongest to hit this part of Indonesia in over 3 years.
