Magnitude 4.5 earthquake strikes near Tuban, East Java, Indonesia4.5 quake 29 May 5:09 pm (GMT +7)
A shallow magnitude 4.5 earthquake was reported in the afternoon near Tuban, East Java, Indonesia.
According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the quake hit on Sunday, May 29th, 2022, at 5:09 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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.
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 Tuban (pop. 76,200) located 52 km from the epicenter, and Paciran (pop. 27,100) 57 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Lamongan (pop. 59,200) located 83 km from the epicenter, Bojonegoro (pop. 86,600) 84 km away, Bangkalan (pop. 62,200) 96 km away, Cepu (pop. 55,100) 99 km away, Kebomas (pop. 76,000) 100 km away, and Gresik (pop. 73,600) 100 km away.
