Significant magnitude 5.0 earthquake 110 km south of Banjar, Indonesia
5.0 quake 12 Nov 8:18 pm (GMT +7)

An earthquake of magnitude 5.0 occurred only 17 minutes ago 110 km south of Banjar, Indonesia, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10 km beneath the epicenter near Banjar, West Java, Indonesia, in the evening on Saturday, November 12th, 2022, at 8:18 pm 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.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.0 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.3.
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 Banjar (pop. 37,300) located 110 km from the epicenter.
