Moderate magnitude 4.6 earthquake 114 km north of Daruba, Indonesia

Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported a magnitude 4.6 quake in Indonesia near Daruba, Morotai Island Regency, North Maluku, only 18 minutes ago. The earthquake hit late at night on Friday, April 10th, 2026, at 11:50 pm local time at an intermediate to considerable depth of 204. km. 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.8. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.6.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Daruba (pop. 23,600, 114 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
