"The Indonesian Meteorological, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency stated that the 7.3 magnitude earthquake had a strike-slip mechanism, meaning that the motion of the rupture was horizontal rather than vertical. The epicentre is located 63 km off-shore Labuha, a small port town in Bacan Island, whereas the USGS gave an epicenter onshore southern Halmahera."

Both BMKG and USGS gave an epicenter onshore southern Halmahera. The BMKG one is in the middle of the land of it, the USGS one is closer to eastern shore. https://www.bmkg.go.id/berita/?p=ulasan-guncangan-tanah-gempabumi-halmahera&lang=ID&s=detil
