The 1943 Alahan Panjang earthquakes occurred on June 8 and June 9 UTC (June 9, 1943, local time) in Sumatra, then under Japanese occupation. This was an earthquake doublet (the shocks occurred at the same location on consecutive days).The Sumatran Fault Zone – from Source to Hazard https://www.scribd.com/document/271526021/SumatranFault-pdf Journal of Earthquake and Tsunami 01 21 2007 Natawidjaja D.

The first mainshock occurred on June 8 at 20:42 UTC. It ruptured the Suliti segment of the Sumatran Fault Zone.

The second mainshock occurred on June 9 at 03:06 UTC. It ruptured the Sumani segment of the Sumatran Fault Zone and perhaps the northwestern part of the Suliti segment. The magnitude was given as w 7.5, or s 7.4.
Alahan Panjang was damaged in the earthquakes. Right lateral offsets were reported near the town of Solok.
Near the Sumani segment, earthquake doublets occurred repeatedly.Source model of an earthquake doublet that occurred in a pull-apart basin along the Sumatran fault, Indonesia Geophysical Journal International 181 1 141–153 2010 Nakano M.
