Moderate magnitude 4.7 earthquake at 138 km depth2 Jul 05:55 UTC: First to report: BMKG after 5 minutes.2 Jul 05:57: Magnitude recalculated from 4.6 to 4.7. Epicenter location corrected by 2.5 km (1.5 mi) towards ESE.2 Jul 05:59: Epicenter location corrected by 8.9 km (5.5 mi) towards W.Update Thu, 2 Jul 2026, 05:57Moderate 4.6 quake hits near Gorontalo, Kota Gorontalo, IndonesiaAn earthquake of magnitude 4.6 occurred around noon on Thursday, July 2nd, 2026, at 1:50 pm local time near Gorontalo, Kota Gorontalo, Indonesia, as reported by Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency.According to preliminary data, the quake was located at an intermediate depth of 136. km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. 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 4.6 earthquake as well.Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Gorontalo (pop. 198,500) located 86 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.

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 5 km2 (2 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 4 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jul 2, 2026 01:50 pm (GMT +8)16 minutes ago4.7138 km0 km - This quakeMinahassa Peninsula, SulawesiMain 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 334 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 41.7 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.18 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 5.4 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 2.5 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 32.2 quakes per year (or 2.7 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 145 quakes per year (or 12.1 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 324 quakes per year (or 27 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 335 quakes per year (or 27.9 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. 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 4 weeks after a magnitude 5.2 earthquake had hit on Friday, Jun 5, 2026, at 07:28 am (GMT +8 local time) in 99 km (61 mi) distance to the southeast:Mag. 5.2 earthquake 77 km S of Gorontalo - Indonesia - Jun 5, 2026 - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 7.4.
