JAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) stated that the 5.3 magnitude earthquake that occurred in the Bima area, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) did not have the potential for a tsunami.
"The public is advised to remain calm and not be influenced by issues that cannot be justified. The public should avoid buildings that are cracked or damaged by the earthquake," said Head of the Mataram Geophysics Station Ardhianto Septiadhi in a written statement in Praya, Sunday, October 16.
The earthquake occurred on Sunday, October 16, 2022 at 04.22.49 WIB in the Northeastern Coast of Bima, NTB.
The results of the BMKG analysis show that this earthquake has updated parameters with a magnitude of M5.2. The epicenter of the earthquake is located at coordinates 8.73 degrees South Latitude: 118.91 degrees east longitude or precisely located at sea at a distance of three kilometers northeast of Langgudu, Bima, NTB.
"Earthquakes occur at a depth of 128 kilometers," he said.
He said that taking into account the location of the epicenter and the depth of the hypocenter, the earthquake that occurred was an intermediate type of earthquake due to plate subduction activity. The results of the analysis of the source mechanism show that the earthquake has an oblique upward movement mechanism (oblique thrust fault).
"This earthquake has an impact and is felt in the Bima and Dompu areas with an intensity scale of III MMI. Until now there have been no aftershocks," he said.
