On 23 January 2018, at 13:34:50 Western Indonesian Time (06:34:54 UTC), an earthquake struck the Indonesian island of Java near the regency of Lebak.[1] The earthquake, measured 5.9 on the Mww, occurred approximately 40 kilometres south of the village of Binuangeun at a depth of 43.9 kilometres.[2] The earthquake was categorized as a strong and shallow earthquake.[3]
Strong shaking were widely reported across Banten, Lampung, West Java, Central Java and Jakarta.[4] The tremor in Jakarta was much harder than in other recent quakes. By the virtue of its distance from the Indo-Australian plate, the capital normally does not experience strong tremors.[5] Two people were indirectly killed by the earthquake.
