It has had at least 16 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 5 to 10 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 1 day 1 hours after a magnitude 5.3 earthquake had hit on Wednesday, Jun 4, 2025, at 12:43 pm (GMT +9 local time) in 97 km (60 mi) distance to the east:Mag. 5.3 earthquake Ceram Sea - 103 km southwest of Pulau Tantaruga Island, Indonesia - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 6.1.
