Background Earthquakes are common in Sumatra as it lies at the convergent boundary where the Sunda plate is subducting beneath the Indo-Australian plate. The plates are converging obliquely at a rate of 60 mm per year and the right lateral component is accommodated by strike-slip faulting within Sumatra, mainly on the Great Sumatran fault. In 2004, Sumatra was devastated by the Sumatra–Andaman earthquake and resulting tsunami that killed tens of thousands in the area and 230,000 people around the Indian Ocean. In 2009, an earthquake near Padang on Sumatra killed more than 1,000. In April 2012, an 8.6-magnitude quake killed five people in Aceh. Earthquake characteristics At 2:37pm local time (07:37 UTC) on 2 July 2013, a 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck at a depth of 10 km mi with an epicenter near Sumatra's northwestern tip, 55 km mi south of Bireun.https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usb000i4re#summary M6.1 – 55 km S of Bireun, Indonesia United States Geological Survey 3 July 2013 3 July 2013 The quake lasted approximately 15 seconds and was felt from regional capital Banda Aceh to Bener Meriah. The quake was powerful enough to cause concern in Banda Aceh, 320 mi km from the epicenter, and shaking was felt as far as Malaysia. At least fifteen aftershocks occurred, with three powerful ones registering magnitudes of 4.3, 5.5 and 5.2.USGS – two further earthquakes https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/ United States Geological Survey 3 July 2013 The earthquake had a strike-slip mechanism involving either left lateral slip on a SW-NE trending fault or right lateral slip on a NW-SE trending fault. Analysis of the aftershock distribution and GPS data highlighted two fault segments, the right lateral Pantan Terong segment and the previously unrecognised left lateral Celala segment, both forming part of the overall Great Sumatran fault system. The best-fit model indicates that the Celala segment was responsible for the earthquake,Gunawan Endra Widiyantoro Sri Rosalia Shindy Daryono Mudrik Rahmawan Meilano Irwan Supendi Pepen Ito Takeo Tabei Takao Kimata Fumiaki Ohta Yusaku Ismail Nazli Coseismic Slip Distribution of the 2 July 2013 Mw 6.1 Aceh, Indonesia, Earthquake and Its Tectonic Implications Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America 108 4 2018-06-05 0037-1106 10.1785/0120180035 1918–1928 2018BuSSA.108.1918G 135420370 although aftershocks and some of the post-seismic slip occurred on the Pantan Terong segment.Gunawan Endra Widiyantoro Sri Meilano Irwan Pratama Cecep Postseismic deformation following the 2 July 2013 M 6.1 Aceh, Indonesia, earthquake estimated using GPS data Journal of Asian Earth Sciences 177 2019 1367-9120 10.1016/j.jseaes.2019.03.020 146–151 2019JAESc.177..146G 134984084 Damage thumb|left|A damaged house As of 19 July, the official death toll stood at 43, with six people still missing.
