The earthquake struck at 10:24 local time on Tuesday, with the epicenter 193 km northwest of Abepura, at a depth of 10 km. Although the USGS initially estimated the magnitude at 6.5, this was later revised. The Indonesian area is frequently affected by earthquakes because of its position on the Pacific 'Ring of Fire', where tectonic plates collide. Past earthquakes in the region have had devastating consequences.
