The tremor was recorded around noon on Sunday, October 25th, 2026, at 1:29 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 10 km below the surface. The event was reported by Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the first seismological agency to report it. A second report was later issued by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 5.4 earthquake. 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, apart from objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc. Weak shaking might have been felt in Lae (pop. 76,300), located 60 km from the epicenter; Finschhafen (pop. 1,100), 83 km away; Bulolo (pop. 16,000), 126 km away; and Wau (pop. 14,600), 135 km away.
