Epicenter location corrected by 19 km (12 mi) towards ENE.Update Sat, 5 Sep 2026, 11:06Moderate magnitude 4.9 earthquake 89 km southeast of Bengkulu, IndonesiaAn earthquake of magnitude 4.9 occurred in the afternoon on Saturday, September 5th, 2026, at 5:59 pm local time near Bengkulu, Kota Bengkulu, Indonesia, as reported by Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency.According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 27. 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.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 Bengkulu (pop. 373,600) located 89 km from the epicenter, Pagar Alam (pop. 70,400) 92 km away, and Curup (pop. 46,200) 118 km away.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.

The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 5 km (3 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Sep 5, 2026 05:59 pm (Jakarta)20 minutes ago5.069 km0 km - This quakeIndian Ocean, 88 km SE of Bengkulu, Kota Bengkulu, Bengkulu, 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 109 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.05 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 21.3 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.29 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 3.5 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 6.3 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 30.2 quakes per year (or 2.5 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 85 quakes per year (or 7.1 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 111 quakes per year (or 9.3 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity.
