M5.4 Shallow Earthquake Recorded Near 221 km BaratLaut PULAUKARATUNG-SULUT
BMKG Indonesia reports M5.4 near 221 km BaratLaut PULAUKARATUNG-SULUT, with a 10.0 km catalog depth.
The event began at Wed, 28 Oct 2026 01:11:54 GMT. BMKG Indonesia reports magnitude 5.4, 10.0 km catalog depth, and coordinates 5.590, 125.270.
The catalog location label is 221 km BaratLaut PULAUKARATUNG-SULUT; no separate nearest-city field was supplied with this solution. By catalog depth, this is a shallow event. The magnitude-derived energy estimate is 7.94e+12 joules, or about 1,898 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 M5.2; EMSC Global M5.2; GEOFON GFZ M5.2. 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.
