Strong magnitude 5.5 earthquake at 12 km depth8 Jul 23:56 UTC: First to report: GFZ after 6 minutes.8 Jul 23:57: Now using data updates from BMKGUpdate Wed, 9 Jul 2025, 00:00Significant magnitude 5.5 earthquake 125 km west of Labuan, IndonesiaAn earthquake of magnitude 5.5 occurred only 9 minutes ago 125 km west of Labuan, Indonesia, Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported.The quake hit at a shallow depth of 12. km beneath the epicenter near Labuan, Kabupaten Pandeglang, Banten, Indonesia, early morning on Wednesday, July 9th, 2025, at 6:50 am local time. 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.Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.4. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.3, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.3.Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.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 Labuan (pop. 33,600) located 125 km from the epicenter, and Bandar Lampung (pop. 1,166,100) 135 km away.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 felt4184–1,186 km (114–737 mi)906 km (563 mi)III: Weak shaking1333–333 km (207–207 mi)333 km (207 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.I 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 32 km2 (12 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 10 km (6 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jul 9, 2025 06:50 am (GMT +7)20 minutes ago5.512 km0 km - This quakeIndian Ocean, Banten, 80 km S of Pulau Tabuhan Island, Lampung, IndonesiaMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 25 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 104 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.29 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 3.4 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 3.7 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 26.4 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 84 quakes per year (or 7 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 102 quakes per year (or 8.5 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 105 quakes per year (or 8.7 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity.
