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 63 km2 (24 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 14 km (9 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Aug 23, 2025 12:24 pm (Universal Time)6 minutes ago5.817 km0 km - This quakeIndian Ocean, 22 km SW of Pulau Babi Island, IndonesiaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake6 minutes agoAug 23, 2025 12:24 GMT / Aug 23, 2025 12:24 pm (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: 2 / 96.47: Northern Sumatra, IndonesiaSource: BMKGOther sources: EMSC: 5.7 / 10 kmDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!',5.8,58, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',2,96.47,'6 minutes ago: Mag. 5.8, Northern Sumatra, Indonesia','Earthquake: Mag 5.8 / 17 km (10.6 mi) depth6 minutes agoAug 23, 2025 12:24 GMT / Aug 23, 2025 12:24 pm (Universal Time)Lat / Lng: 2 / 96.47: Northern Sumatra, IndonesiaSource: BMKGOther sources: EMSC: 5.7 / 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=22092307","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)}})})();]]>
