On this day, Monday, August 25, 2025, Indonesia has once again experienced several earthquake events that shook various regions across the country. According to reports from the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG), several areas affected include Bekasi Regency in West Java, the Kuta area in Bali, and Sarmi in Papua. These earthquake incidents serve as a reminder of the active seismic activity in Indonesia, which is one of the countries with the highest earthquake risk in the world.
In Bekasi Regency, earthquakes have recurred and were felt in multiple surrounding locations. Although the magnitudes of these quakes vary, residents in the area experienced sufficiently strong tremors, causing concern and panic among the community. BMKG continues to monitor and provide information regarding the strength and impact of the earthquakes, ensuring that no tsunamis are potentially triggered by these events.
Meanwhile, Sarmi in Papua was also shaken by an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.0. This quake was felt quite strongly by residents nearby and raised concerns about possible damages or aftershocks. BMKG officials stated that the series of earthquake events today do not have the potential to generate tsunamis. Citizens are advised to remain calm and follow the instructions issued by authorities.
Overall, BMKG reports confirm that although several earthquakes of different magnitudes occurred across various regions of Indonesia today, there is no indication of a tsunami threat. The public is urged to stay alert for potential aftershocks and to always adhere to safety protocols set by local authorities and BMKG. The government and relevant teams continue to monitor the situation closely to ensure the safety and well-being of the community during this period.
