Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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 4.7 earthquake as well.Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Sarmi (pop. 14,100) located 92 km from the epicenter, and Kobakma (pop. 13,100) 117 km away.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

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 2 km2 (1 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jul 15, 2026 08:58 am (GMT +9)16 minutes ago4.362 km0 km - This quakeSouth Papua, 93 km SE of Sarmi, Kabupaten Sarmi, Provinsi Papua, IndonesiaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 26 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 214 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.04 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 25 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.42 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 2.4 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 6.3 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 64 quakes per year (or 5.3 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 169 quakes per year (or 14.1 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 212 quakes per year (or 17.6 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 5 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 25 to 30 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 21 hours after a magnitude 4.3 earthquake had hit on Tuesday, Jul 14, 2026, at 11:58 am local time (Asia/Jayapura GMT +9) in 31 km (19 mi) distance to the west:Mag. 4.3 earthquake South Papua - Provinsi Papua, Indonesia - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 6.5.
