On February 25, 2022, a strong magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck west Sumatra.[2] According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the earthquake struck at a depth of 12.3 km and had an epicenter in Pasaman.[3] At least four people died, 32 were injured, and severe damage occurred in Tigo Nagari District, Pasaman.

Tectonic setting

The earthquake had an epicenter along the Great Sumatran fault. The Great Sumatran Fault is a 1,900 km-long and highly segmented strike-slip fault. The fault system is divided into about 20 segments.[4] It accommodates shear stress caused by the highly oblique convergence between the Indo-Australian and Sunda Plates at the Sunda megathrust. This active fault was the source of the 1994 Liwa and 1995 Kerinci earthquakes.

Earthquake

According to the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG), the earthquake occured as a result of right-lateral strike-slip faulting on the Great Sumatran fault.[5] Four minutes prior, a magnitude 5.2 foreshock occurred.[6] The BMKG stated that the earthquake was felt VI (Strong) in Pasaman Barat, West Pasaman Regency. Its epicenter was located on the slopes of Mount Talakmau.[1]

Impact

The West Pasaman Regional Disaster Management reported that several dozens of schools and homes were damaged. The agency expected the humber of damaged structures to rise into the hundreds.[7] An elementary school in West Pasaman Regency suffered serious damage, and in the district's office, a room partially collapsed.[8] An unspecified number of residents in Nagari Kajai suffered injuries due to damaged buildings. Telecommunication services were disrupted and a mosque collapsed.[9]

The quake was felt in the Klang Valley of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Some residents and workers rushed to exit their homes and offices.[10] Workers were evacuated from the Bernama headquaters in the city as well.[11] Shaking was also felt in Singapore.[5] At approximately 9:40 am Singapore time, residents reported tremors in Punggol, Simei, Redhill, Queensway, Ang Mo Kio and Kallang. Reports of shaking was also felt in the Marina Bay Financial Centre.[12]

Casualties

Later in the afternoon, the Indonesian National Board for Disaster Management stated that two people were killed and 20 were injured.[13] The number of casualties was further updated to four dead and 32 injured.[14] According to the Ladang Panjang Health Center, three bodies have been removed from the rubble of collapsed buildings. Many of the injured were treated at Yarsi Hospital.[15] Of the four people killed, two were elders, and one was a child and teenager respectively.[16]
