An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 occurred early afternoon on Monday, June 15th, 2026, at 2:58 pm local time near Labuan Bajo, West Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, as reported by the United States Geological Survey.According to preliminary data, the quake was located at an intermediate to considerable depth of 172.57 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. Magnitude and other quake parameters can still change in the coming hours as the agency continues to process seismic data.A second report was later issued by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 4.6 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 4.5, Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency at magnitude 4.2, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 4.2.Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Komodo (pop. 2,000) located 35 km from the epicenter, Labuan Bajo (pop. 188,700) 39 km away, and Sape (pop. 5,000) 74 km away. In Bima (pop. 161,400, 97 km away), and Ruteng (pop. 41,500, 102 km away), the quake was probably not felt.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
