A 4.1-magnitude earthquake struck Bogor city in Indonesia’s West Java due to movements in the Citarik fault, according to the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG).
The BMKG’s head of tsunami early warning and earthquake information Daryono said that the quake’s epicentre was located at the 6.80 South Latitude and 106.68 East Longitude, and a depth of 5 kilometres.
The agency confirmed that tremors were felt in both Bogor and Depok cities, causing minor damage to some houses in Bogor, about 60 kilometres from Jakarta. It noted that as of April 11 morning, four aftershocks were recorded.
Three earthquakes were recorded in Solok, West Sumatra province, on April 8, attributed to movement and activity along the Suliti fault.
The BMKG affirmed there is no tsunami risk and urged residents to stay away from cracked buildings as they could collapse in the event of aftershocks.
