Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. A minor tremor brushed past the waters off Enggano Island on Monday morning (1/6/2026), registering as a quiet reminder of the active fault lines tracing Indonesia's southwestern coastline.

The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) recorded the mild magnitude 3.0 earthquake at 11.15 am. The tremor occurred at a very shallow depth of just 7 kilometers, centering its epicenter roughly 40 kilometers northeast of Enggano, Bengkulu. Due to the shallow nature of the event, BMKG utilized its automated rapid-reporting system to push out early data to local networks as part of standard safety protocols.

The event passed quietly without disrupting daily routines on the island. Local emergency services reported no casualties or structural damage following the minor shake. Authorities have advised coastal residents to remain calm and carry on with their activities while following official update channels.

Positioned along the volatile Pacific "Ring of Fire," the waters around Bengkulu frequently experience minor tectonic adjustments.
