An earthquake measuring 6.9 on the moment magnitude scale struck between Flores and Timor on 14 May 1995. The shock centered in the Ombai Strait was associated with coastal subsidence and a tsunami on Timor. A 4 m (13 ft) wave inundated up to 120 m (390 ft) inland and left 19 people injured and 11 missing. At Dili, a 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) tsunami destroyed homes and damaged 40 boats. Significant damage was also reported in Maliana and Maubara while landslides affected the epicenter region. Subsidence was observed from Dili to Maboura; subsidence at Marinir may have been responsible for the 4 m (13 ft) tsunami run-up. Furthermore, a submarine landslide or one occurring near the sea may have caused the tsunami. There were no eyewitness account of the tsunami waves following the earthquake.
