M5.3 Shallow Earthquake Recorded Near 34 km TimurLaut RUTENG-MANGGARAI-NTT
BMKG Indonesia reports M5.3 near 34 km TimurLaut RUTENG-MANGGARAI-NTT, with a 10.0 km catalog depth.
The event began at Mon, 21 Sep 2026 01:41:37 GMT. BMKG Indonesia reports magnitude 5.3, 10.0 km catalog depth, and coordinates -8.330, 120.590.
The catalog location label is 34 km TimurLaut RUTENG-MANGGARAI-NTT; no separate nearest-city field was supplied with this solution. By catalog depth, this is a shallow event. The magnitude-derived energy estimate is 5.62e+12 joules, or about 1,344 tons of TNT equivalent; that calculation describes source energy, not local damage.
The current catalog entry does not include a public felt-report count. No separate intensity or catalog-significance detail is available from this provider record. No official casualty or damage statement is attached to the normalized event evidence.
BMKG Indonesia has not supplied a review status in the normalized record. No station-count, phase-count, residual, gap, or uncertainty fields were supplied in the normalized record. Other agency solutions retained for this same origin are USGS Week M5.5; EMSC Global M5.5; GEOFON GFZ M5.5. These are alternate reported solutions, not additional earthquakes.
The provider record does not carry a tsunami flag at publication time. Magnitude, depth, and location can change as monitoring networks add observations and review the solution.
