Indonesia: A magnitude-5.7 earthquake occurs off the southern coast of West Java Province at around 20:07 Feb. 25

A magnitude-5.7 earthquake occurred off the southern coast of West Java Province at around 20:07 Feb. 25. The epicenter was about 83 km (52 miles) southwest of Pelabuhanratu. The tremor occurred at a depth of about 53 km (33 miles), and shaking was probably felt throughout West Java, Banten, and southern Lampung provinces. There have been no initial reports of damage or casualties due to the earthquake. It could take several hours until authorities can conduct comprehensive damage assessments, especially in remote areas. Aftershocks are possible over the coming days.

Officials may temporarily shut down transportation infrastructure in the tremor zone to check for damage. Minor disruptions could occur during shutdowns, but service will likely resume quickly if no damage is found. Utility outages are possible, particularly near the earthquake's epicenter.
