It has had at least 3 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 40 to 45 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 9 weeks after a magnitude 3.9 earthquake had hit on Sunday, May 3, 2026, at 02:24 pm (GMT +9 local time) in 36 km (22 mi) distance to the southwest:Mag. 3.9 earthquake West Papua Region - Indonesia - May 3, 2026 - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 6.1.
