ภัยพิบัติ · Kiunga earthquakeKiunga Papua earthquake: Magnitude 5.7, shaking felt across the Indonesian borderเขียน 29 ตุลาคม 2569 เวลา 8:46 UTCรับชมบทถอดเสียง0:07A magnitude5 .7 earthquake struck inland northeast of Kyunga.0:11The quake was just ten kilometers deep, and people across the Indonesian border felt0:15the shaking.0:16Early modeling suggests low humanitarian impact, but conditions closest to the0:20epicenter still need a confirmed local assessment.0:23How much harm did the shaking cause there?0:25The epicenter was eighty, two kilometers northeast of Kyunga in Papua New Guinea.0:29That's about fifty, one miles from the town.0:32Kyunga lies southwest of the epicenter, while the communities reporting shaking0:36across the border are in Indonesia.0:38The earthquake struck on October29,20206 at about1 20 ,6 in the afternoon in0:43Papua New Guinea.0:45Its magnitude was measured using body waves, seismic waves that travel through the0:49Earth's interior.0:50The technical abbreviation for that measurement is MB.0:52Disaster modeling estimates fewer than one hundred people were exposed to very0:56strong shaking.0:57That's intensity seven or higher on the modified Mercali scale, which describes1:01shaking at a particular location.1:02The figure estimates population exposure rather than counting injuries.1:06The green humanitarian assessment points to potentially low impact.1:09It combines the earthquake's magnitude with the exposed population and people's1:13vulnerability.1:14No casualties or damage were immediately reported, but the actual toll still depends1:18on information from the ground.1:19The earthquake loss estimate system called Pager has conflicting early alert1:23information.1:24An initial entry listed no alert level, while secondary listings showed green.1:28Its current official level hasn't been confirmed.1:30These alerts estimate possible losses before local assessments establish the impact.1:34Indonesia's earthquake agency initially calculated a magnitude of six point zero and1:39a depth of one hundred and twenty kilometers.1:41It then revised its own analysis.1:43Those changes belong to the Indonesian calculation.1:46The separate American measurement remains five point seven at ten kilometers deep.1:50Indonesia's updated calculation puts the magnitude at five point nine and the depth1:53at forty-two kilometers.1:55It places the epicenter inland, one hundred and seventy-one kilometers southeast of1:58Oxabel.1:59The initial location was described as one hundred and seventy five kilometers2:03northeast of Bovendigal.2:04The Indonesian origin estimate is six seconds later than the American estimate.2:08Both describe this earthquake.2:10The Indonesian bulletins later release time marks when the information was issued.2:14It doesn't mark another shock.2:15Active fault movement caused the earthquake in the Indonesian analysis.2:19That analysis identifies a strike-slip mechanism, meaning the fault moved mainly2:23sideways.2:23Its updated location puts the earthquake on land, near the border separating Papua2:28New Guinea from Indonesia.2:29People in three Indonesian communities described weaker shaking than the very strong2:32level modeled closer to the epicenter.2:34Magnitude measures the earthquake itself.2:36Intensity describes what the shaking is like in each place, so it varies from2:40community to community.2:41In Bovindigal, people felt intensity three shaking clearly indoors, like a truck2:46passing.2:47Jayapura and Marokke registered intensity too.2:49A few people felt it there, and lightly suspended objects swung.2:53Those observations describe shaking farther from the epicenter.2:56Stronger shaking near the epicenter remains possible within the exposure model.3:00The observations from Indonesian communities and the modeled exposure in Papua New3:03Guinea describe different places, and they serve different purposes.3:06Indonesia's earthquake agency found no tsunami potential in its modeling.3:11Its earthquake and tsunami director signed that assessment.3:14The conclusion comes from the Indonesian analysis, which provides a more specific3:17assessment than the earthquake database simple no tsunami flag.3:21Indonesian monitoring detected no aftershock activity through about half an hour3:25after the earthquake.3:26Aftershocks could still occur.3:28The agency said it would continue monitoring and update the public.3:31Its safety advice was to remain calm, reject unsupported rumors, and avoid buildings3:35cracked or damaged by shaking.3:37That was precautionary guidance.3:39Shaking is documented across the border, and modeling suggests limited humanitarian3:44impact.3:44Conditions near the epicenter still await a confirmed local casualty and damage3:49assessment.อ่านบทความลำดับเวลาของเรื่องHeyDexใครรายงานอะไรประเด็นที่สื่อมากกว่าหนึ่งแห่งรายงานEarthquake magnitude3 สำนักข่าวEarthquake depth3 สำนักข่าวLocation
