Indonesia's Bandung earthquake swarm continued into Thursday morning, with BMKG recording more shallow tremors in the area.
The Bandung Earthquake Swarm in Indonesia's West Java region continues into Thursday morning, with the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) recording two more earthquakes on Thursday. The first quake, with a magnitude of 2.6, was felt at 04:59 WIB in Pangalengan and several surrounding areas, while the second, with a magnitude of 2.7, occurred at 06:21 WIB.
Both quakes originated at shallow depths of 3 and 4 kilometers, respectively, with epicenters located between 23 and 27 kilometers south of Bandung Regency. Despite the tremors, there have been no reports of building damage. The BMKG has not yet determined the specific active fault responsible for this series of earthquakes, classifying it as a swarm rather than a single mainshock event.
