The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter around noon on Monday, October 20th, 2025, at 1:56 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. Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.9 as well. 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 Waingapu (pop. 35,900) located 54 km from the epicenter, Tambolaka (pop. 35,800) 71 km away, Komodo (pop. 2,000) 96 km away, Labuan Bajo (pop. 188,700) 96 km away, and Ruteng (pop. 41,500) 105 km away. VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
