The 2006 Java earthquake occurred at 05:54 local time on 27 May 2006 (22:54 GMT 26 May), in the Indian Ocean around 25 km (15 miles) south-southwest of the Indonesian city of Yogyakarta, on the southern side of the island of Java (8.007° S 110.286° E), 17.1 km below the seabed, according to the U.S. Geological Survey; Jakarta's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency determined the epicentre to be about 37 km south of Yogyakarta, 33 km below the seabed. The earthquake had a magnitude of 6.3. Two aftershocks, measured at 4.8 and 4.6, occurred between 4 and 6 hours later.

According to CNN, there have been more than 5,100 deaths so far while more than 6,500 people have been injured to various degrees, and 100,000 left homeless. 2,091 of those deaths and more than 1,892 injuries in the area of Bantul. BBC News reports quotes a Social Affairs Ministry official as saying that the number of dead stood at 4,983. Similar numbers have been provided by Le Monde and Agence France Press. Around five million people live within 50 km of the epicentre.

Coastal residents fled inland in fear of a tsunami, but such an event did not transpire since the magnitude was insufficient for the quake to be tsunamigenic. Nearby Borobudur, an ancient Buddhist stupa, apparently survived completely intact.
