This morning, Padang Panjang and its surrounding areas in West Sumatra were shaken by a 4.0-magnitude earthquake, as reported by the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG). The quake struck at 05:54 a.m. WIB (Western Indonesia Time) on Monday, June 10, 2024, with its epicenter located on land, 15 kilometers northwest of Padang Panjang at a depth of 10 kilometers.

Daryono, Head of the BMKG Earthquake and Tsunami Center, explained that the earthquake was classified as shallow and attributed its cause to the activity along the Sianok Fault. The Sianok Fault is a significant geological feature in the region, known for its potential to generate seismic activity.

The earthquake was most strongly felt in Padang Panjang, where it registered at an MMI (Modified Mercalli Intensity) III scale. This level of shaking is comparable to the sensation of trucks passing by, noticeable but not typically causing damage. In other nearby areas such as Bukittinggi, Padang Pariaman, and Agam, residents experienced the quake at an MMI II-III scale, indicating light to moderate shaking.

This seismic event in Padang Panjang followed closely on the heels of another earthquake earlier in the day. Just after midnight, a 4.2-magnitude earthquake struck Pangandaran in West Java. BMKG’s preliminary data indicated that this quake was centered at sea, 82 kilometers southwest of Pangandaran Regency, with a depth of 43 kilometers.

The proximity and timing of these quakes have drawn attention to the dynamic and active seismic nature of Indonesia. West Sumatra and West Java are regions particularly prone to earthquakes due to the complex interaction of tectonic plates in the area.

Authorities have not reported any significant damage or casualties from either of the quakes. However, residents are reminded to stay vigilant and aware of safety protocols in the event of future seismic activities. BMKG continues to monitor the situation and provide updates on any further developments.
