The depth of the quake could not be determined, but is assumed to be shallow.The quake was felt by many near the epicenter. The shallow depth of the quake caused it to be felt more strongly near the epicenter than a deeper quake of similar magnitude would.Quake Data | Interactive map | Seismograms | User reports | Aftershocks | Earlier quakes here | Quakes in Indonesia | Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Province | North SumatraHint: Click on the image to see different maps of this quake!Strong magnitude 5.0 earthquake at unknown depth22 Jul 04:21 UTC: First to report: BMKG after 3 minutes.22 Jul 04:24: Magnitude recalculated from 4.8 to 5.6.

The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter near Langsa, Kota Langsa, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Province, Indonesia, in the morning on Wednesday, July 22nd, 2026, at 11:18 am local time. 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 the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.8 as well. Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter. Weak shaking might have been felt in Langsa (pop. 194,700) located 67 km from the epicenter, Blangpidie (pop. 24,100) 82 km away, and Pangkalan Brandan (pop. 25,500) 93 km away. Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Lhokseumawe (pop. 196,100) located 119 km from the epicenter. VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

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!Number of reports by intensityShaking intensityNumber of reportsMin-Max distance from epicenter (*)Average distance (*)I: Not felt6149–1,134 km (93–705 mi)562 km (350 mi)II: Very weak shaking2408–408 km (253–253 mi)408 km (253 mi)III: Weak shaking2116–146 km (72–91 mi)131 km (81 mi)IV: Light shaking255–140 km (34–87 mi)97 km (60 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (16 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.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 10 km2 (4 square miles) as a first-order estimate.
