Magnitude 6.0 earthquake strikes near Ponorogo, Kabupaten Ponorogo, Jawa Timur, Indonesia

The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 6.0 quake in Indonesia near Ponorogo, Kabupaten Ponorogo, Jawa Timur, only 9 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Friday, February 6th, 2026, at 1:06 am local time at a moderately shallow depth of 67. km. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.6. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.9.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
