The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 4.5 quake in Indonesia near Namrole, South Buru Regency, Maluku, only 13 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the morning on Thursday, April 30th, 2026, at 10:10 am local time at a great depth of 379. km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.Our monitoring service identified a second report from Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency which listed the quake at magnitude 4.3. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.3.According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Namrole (pop. 21,500, 99 km away), the quake was probably not felt.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
