The tremor was recorded in the morning on Saturday, January 17th, 2026, at 8:07 am local time, at an intermediate depth of 93. km below the surface. The event was filed by Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the first seismological agency to report it. Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.9. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake 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 Angoram (pop. 1,600) located 40 km from the epicenter, Wewak (pop. 18,200) 107 km away, and Wewak (pop. 18,200) 107 km away.
