Indonesia: Magnitude-5.1 offshore earthquake occurs west of Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara Province May 14

A magnitude-5.1 earthquake occurred in the Lombok Strait at around 16:11 May 14. The epicenter was about 10 km (6 miles) southwest of Gili Trawangan, West Nusa Tenggara Province. The tremor occurred at a depth of about 28 km (17 miles), and light shaking was probably felt throughout parts of central and western West Nusa Tenggara, Bali, and eastern East Java provinces. There have been no initial reports of damage or casualties as a result of the earthquake, and significant damage is unlikely. It could take several hours until authorities can conduct comprehensive damage assessments, especially in remote areas. Light 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.
