reported to have heard rumbling and booming sounds or what sounded like explosions during a magnitude 4.1 earthquake that struck on Thursday night Several residents described hearing loud booms on two separate occasions According to Daryono, the Head of the Earthquake and Tsunami Center at Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) these noises were caused by high-frequency vibrations occurring close to the Earth's surface This phenomenon also indicates that the earthquake's epicenter was at a very shallow depth "The Bogor earthquake being accompanied by rumbling and booming sounds is a normal occurrence All very shallow earthquakes are accompanied by sounds such as explosions and rumbling," Daryono said in a written press release issued on Friday The epicenter of the Bogor earthquake on Thursday night which occurred at 10:16 PM Western Indonesian Time (WIB) was recorded at a depth of five kilometers Its geographical coordinates were 6.62 degrees South Latitude and 106.8 degrees East Longitude placing it on land approximately 2 kilometers southeast of the Bogor City center An earthquake measuring a magnitude of 4.1 on the Richter Scale centered in Bogor City "The Bogor earthquake is strongly suspected to have been triggered by the Citarik Fault through a sinistral strike-slip mechanism," explained Daryono Analysis of the BMKG earthquake map suggests that this fault line appears as a straight right-sloping feature originating from the southern coastal tip of Sukabumi and extending towards or intersecting with areas near Bekasi However, Supartoyo, a leading earthquake investigator at the Geological Disaster Mitigation Research and Development Center (PVMBG) of the Geological Agency expressed uncertainty regarding the Citarik Fault being the cause of the Bogor earthquake "We are not yet certain that the fault extends that far," he commented on Friday The center of the 4.1-magnitude earthquake in Bogor City that occurred on Thursday night the earthquake's epicenter was on the Citarik Fault line and therefore it was suspected that the earthquake was generated by the fault's activities the area closest to the earthquake's epicenter Data from
