Moderate magnitude 4.8 earthquake at 11 km depth22 Sep 22:31 UTC: First to report: RaspberryShake after 3 minutes.22 Sep 22:31: Now using data updates from BMKG22 Sep 22:33: Magnitude recalculated from 4.8 to 4.7. Hypocenter depth recalculated from 10.00 to 11.00 km (from 6.2 to 6.8 mi).22 Sep 22:35: Magnitude recalculated from 4.7 to 4.8. Epicenter location corrected by 4.7 km (2.9 mi) towards SW.Update Tue, 22 Sep 2026, 22:33Moderate magnitude 4.8 earthquake 82 km southwest of Labuan, IndonesiaAn earthquake of magnitude 4.8 occurred early morning on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2026, at 5:27 am local time near Labuan, Kabupaten Pandeglang, Banten, Indonesia, as reported by Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency.According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 10. km. 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.Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.7.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 Labuan (pop. 33,600) located 82 km from the epicenter, Pandeglang (pop. 92,300) 107 km away, and Rangkasbitung (pop. 137,000) 114 km away.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 (*)III: Weak shaking130–30 km (18.9–18.9 mi)30 km (19 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (1 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 6 km2 (2 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 4 km (3 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Sep 23, 2026 05:27 am (GMT +7)10 minutes ago4.811 km0 km - This quakeIndian Ocean, 86 km SW of Labuan, Kabupaten Pandeglang, Banten, 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 138 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.21 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 4.8 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 2.7 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 24.2 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 94 quakes per year (or 7.8 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 137 quakes per year (or 11.4 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 27 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 1 to 5 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
