The quake had a shallow depth of 58 km (36 mi) and was felt by many near the epicenter.Quake Data | Interactive map | Seismograms | User reports | Aftershocks | Earlier quakes here | Quakes in Indonesia | East Nusa Tenggara | West Nusa Tenggara | Provinsi BaliHint: Click on the image to see different maps of this quake!Strong magnitude 5.0 earthquake at 58 km depth12 Jul 13:23 UTC: First to report: BMKG after 3 minutes.12 Jul 13:25: Magnitude recalculated from 4.8 to 5.3.

The tremor was recorded in the evening on Sunday, July 12th, 2026, at 9:20 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 25. km below the surface.The event was filed by Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the first seismological agency to report it.A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.8 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 Tambolaka (pop. 35,800) located 39 km from the epicenter.Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Waingapu (pop. 35,900) located 103 km from the epicenter.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 (*)I: Not felt11,377–1,377 km (856–856 mi)1,377 km (856 mi)III: Weak shaking18.5–8.5 km (5.3–5.3 mi)8.5 km (5.3 mi)IV: Light shaking29.1–17.1 km (5.7–10.6 mi)13.1 km (8 mi)V: Moderate shaking118.2–18.2 km (11.3–11.3 mi)18.2 km (11 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (6 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 10 km2 (4 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 5 km (3 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jul 12, 2026 09:20 pm (Makassar)17 minutes ago - felt5.058 km0 km - This quake38 km SE of Tambolaka, Kabupaten Sumba Barat Daya, East Nusa Tenggara, 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 393 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.15 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 6.7 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 2.3 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 33.1 quakes per year (or 2.8 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 155 quakes per year (or 12.9 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 388 quakes per year (or 32.3 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 391 quakes per year (or 32.6 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity.
