Significant earthquake of magnitude 5.1 just reported 120 km southwest of Dampit, Indonesia
5.1 quake 17 Jan 11:36 am (GMT +7)

An earthquake of magnitude 5.1 occurred only 24 minutes ago 120 km southwest of Dampit, Indonesia, Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 17 km beneath the epicenter near Dampit, East Java, Indonesia, in the morning on Tuesday, January 17th, 2023, at 11:36 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.
A second report was later issued by The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 4.8 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the United States Geological Survey at magnitude 4.8, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 4.8, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.0, and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 4.8.
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 Dampit (pop. 23,100) located 120 km from the epicenter, and Kepanjen (pop. 51,900) 126 km away.
