Magnitude 5.2 earthquake strikes near Bengkulu, Indonesia

A shallow magnitude 5.2 earthquake was reported in the morning near Bengkulu, Indonesia.
According to Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the quake hit on Monday 29 March 2021 at 11:13 am local time at a shallow depth of 23 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 4.7 earthquake. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 4.7.
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 Pagar Alam (pop. 70,400) located 101 km from the epicenter, and Bengkulu (pop. 309,700) 101 km away.
