The quake had a shallow depth of 62 km (39 mi) and was not felt (or at least not reported so).Quake Data | Interactive map | User reports | Aftershocks | Earlier quakes here | Quakes in Indonesia | Quakes in Papua New Guinea | Highland Papua | Central Papua | Provinsi PapuaHint: Click on the image to see different maps of this quake!Moderate magnitude 4.8 earthquake at 62 km depth6 Oct 22:06 UTC: First to report: RaspberryShake after 9 minutes.6 Oct 22:06: Now using data updates from BMKG6 Oct 22:07: Hypocenter depth recalculated from 29.00 to 88.00 km (from 18 to 55 mi).

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.A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.9 earthquake 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 Elelim (pop. 5,900) located 12 km from the epicenter, Kobakma (pop. 13,100) 61 km away, and Wamena (pop. 41,800) 80 km away.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
