A 4.8 magnitude (M) earthquake struck Sumur. The epicenter was at sea. "The earthquake's epicenter was located 58 km southwest of Sumur at sea, and this earthquake was felt and should be relayed to the public," wrote BMKG (Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency) on its official website, April 27, 2024.

The earthquake occurred at 08:27:12. It was at a depth of 10.0 kilometers and posed no tsunami threat. The earthquake's coordinates were 7.14 LS (South Latitude) and 105.35 BT (East Longitude).

The earthquake was felt on the MMI scale in Lebak, Tangerang, Tangerang, Jakarta, and Bogor with intensities of III, II-III, II-III, II-III, and II-III respectively. An intensity of III means the earthquake was felt by several people but did not cause damage or accidents. Light hanging objects swayed, and glass windows vibrated.
