Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported a magnitude 4.5 quake in Indonesia near Pelabuhanratu, Kabupaten Sukabumi, Jawa Barat, only 11 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the afternoon on Sunday, September 13th, 2026, at 5:06 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10. km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake, which also listed it as a magnitude 4.5 earthquake.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Pelabuhanratu (pop. 109,500), located 90 km from the epicenter, and Sukabumi (pop. 360,600), 107 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the magnitude and depth if they change and follow up if other significant news about the quake becomes available.

The National Observatory of Athens (NOA) reported a magnitude-2.7 quake in Greece near Preveza, Préveza, Epirus, only 27 minutes ago. The earthquake struck early on Sunday morning, September 13th, 2026, at 3:54 am local time, at a shallow depth of 13.90 km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which also listed the quake at magnitude 2.7. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the Seismological Laboratory of the University of Athens (UOA), at magnitude 2.6; the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Geophysical Lab. (AUTH), at magnitude 2.7; and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, at magnitude 2.7.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Chortata (pop. 100), located 2 km from the epicenter. In Lefkada (pop. 8,700, 14 km away), Palairos (pop. 2,600, 26 km away), Preveza (pop. 17,300, 28 km away), Kandila (pop. 1,200, 31 km away), Vonitsa (pop. 4,700, 32 km away), Monastiraki (pop. 1,300, 33 km away), Ithaki (pop. 1,800, 43 km away), and Arta (pop. 21,900, 58 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
