TEMPO.CO, JAKARTA – A 4.4-magnitude earthquake has been reported by the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) that struck 20 kilometers southeast of Buleleng and sent shockwaves through almost every district in Bali.
According to the agency’s data, the earthquake struck Boleleng at 00:41 Western Indonesia Time (WIB) and was classified as a surface earthquake with a low depth epicenter 10 kilometers away.
“The earthquake was caused by active fault activity of the mainland shear mechanism (buleling), and not by a back-arc thrust fault,” said BMKG Earthquake and Tsunami Center Head Dariono.
The magnitude of the earthquake in Boleleng was recorded at IV on the MMI scale while the residents of Denpasar felt it at II on the MMI scale. This earthquake occurred approximately 48 hours after a stronger earthquake was felt in Palu and Poso, Central Sulawesi.
