The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10 km beneath the epicenter near Matalam, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, in the morning on Sunday, October 16th, 2022, at 9:13 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.
