Moderate magnitude 4.4 quake hits 23 km southeast of Pamanukan, Indonesia early evening
4.4 quake 15 Nov 6:09 pm (GMT +7)

An earthquake of magnitude 4.4 occurred early evening on Monday, November 15th, 2021, at 6:09 pm local time near Pamanukan, West Java, Indonesia, as reported by Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at an intermediate to considerable depth of 287 km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. 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 the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.4 as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 4.5.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Pamanukan (pop. 114,300, 23 km away), Indramayu (pop. 123,300, 36 km away), Jatibarang (pop. 73,000, 37 km away), Sumedang Utara (pop. 100,000, 55 km away), Arjawinangun (pop. 105,800, 55 km away), Sumedang (pop. 200,000, 56 km away), Cikampek (pop. 145,600, 61 km away), Palimanan (pop. 92,600, 61 km away), and Bandung (pop. 1,699,700, 76 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
