TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A tectonic earthquake with a magnitude of 3.9 shook Banjar City, West Java, and its surrounding areas. The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) recorded the event on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, at 07:37 AM local time.
According to BMKG, the quake's epicenter was located on land at coordinates 7.27 degrees South Latitude and 108.77 degrees East Longitude, about 28 kilometers northeast of the center of Banjar City.
The quake originated from a relatively shallow depth of 16 kilometers. "The earthquake was caused by the activity of an active fault," said the Head of the BMKG Geophysical Station, Sleman, Ardhianto Septiadi, in a written statement on Tuesday.
The tremors were significantly felt in the areas of Kota Banjar, Majenang, Wanareja, Bantarkawung, and Bumiayu at intensity III on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale (MMI), meaning that residents felt vibrations similar to those caused by a passing truck.
The BMKG has received no reports of damage caused by the earthquake. The public is urged to remain calm and not be influenced by unverified rumors.
