M5.1 Shallow Earthquake Recorded Near Borneo

GEOFON GFZ reports M5.1 near Borneo, with a 10.0 km catalog depth.

Published 2026-10-07T03:08:51.283Z

The event began at Tue, 06 Oct 2026 13:11:24 GMT. GEOFON GFZ reports magnitude 5.1, 10.0 km catalog depth, and coordinates 4.926, 118.829.

The catalog location label is Borneo; no separate nearest-city field was supplied with this solution. By catalog depth, this is a shallow event. The magnitude-derived energy estimate is 3.24e+12 joules, or about 773 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.

GEOFON GFZ 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 EMSC Global M4.9; USGS Week M4.9. 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.
