Indonesia: A magnitude-6.1 offshore earthquake occurs in Indian Ocean at around 23:29 April 27

A magnitude-6.1 earthquake occurred south of Indonesia at around 23:29 on April 27. The epicenter was approximately 102 km (63 miles) south of Banjar. The tremor occurred at a depth of about 68 km (42 miles), and weak-to-moderate shaking was reported in parts of Java Island. There have been no initial reports of damage or casualties due to the earthquake; some damage is possible. It could take several hours until authorities can conduct comprehensive damage assessments, especially in remote areas. Aftershocks are likely over the coming days. The event has not prompted any tsunami advisories.

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.
