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 3 km2 (1 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 3 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)May 30, 2026 11:15 am (GMT +6)19 minutes ago4.456 km0 km - This quakeIndian Ocean, 110 km SW of Pulau Babi Island, IndonesiaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 10 days after a magnitude 4.6 earthquake had hit on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 09:03 am local time (Asia/Jakarta GMT +7) in 91 km (56 mi) distance to the northeast:Mag. 4.6 earthquake Indian Ocean - 23 km southwest of Sinabang, Indonesia - May 20, 2026 - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 6.3.
