• Abstract During the last one hundred years, there are no shallow seismicity in the north of Java. This area is dominated by intermediate and deep focus earthquakes due to the subducted Indo-Australian slab. An earthquake with magnitude M L 4.5 struck Indramayu, north of West Java on August 1, 2020. According to the Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG), the earthquake was felt III MMI scale in Indramayu and its vicinity. We used waveform data from BMKG seismic station in West Java, then we picked P-and S-waves arrival times from each station and hypocenter location was determined by Geiger method. We have detected Pn before Pg phase on four BMKG seismic stations, indicating a shallow crustal earthquake. Our inversion show that the earthquake occurred in 6.1805° S, 108.2612° E with 5 km focus depth at 16:24:38 GMT+7. Our focal mechanism solution was determined by using moment tensor inversion shows a strike-slip faulting, which corresponds to the active fault in the north of Indramayu.
