TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) on Monday reported that the Pangandaran Regency in West Java was hit by a magnitude 4.5 earthquake earlier this morning at 06:49 Western Indonesia Times (WIB).

The earthquake’s epicenter was 95 kilometers southwest of the regency and was detected to be at the depth of 10-kilometers.

This is the second earthquake that hit the region after Sunday, October 25, saw a magnitude 5.5 quake that came from 88 kilometers southwest of Pangandaran, which was felt in numerous neighboring areas such as Sukabumi, Bandung, Tegal and Yogyakarta.
