According to Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the quake hit on Tuesday, September 21st, 2021, at 7:33 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10 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. 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 Abepura (pop. 62,200) located 30 km from the epicenter, and Jayapura (pop. 134,900) 39 km away. Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Vanimo (pop. 11,200) located 105 km from the epicenter.
