Indonesia hit by second quake after 38 deaths
Indonesia experienced two earthquakes consecutively, with magnitudes of 7.7 and 6.9, on the island of Sumatra today, Saturday. The earthquakes resulted in at least 38 deaths and caused widespread damage to buildings. The first quake struck at a depth of 10 kilometers, with its epicenter located 68 kilometers northwest of Indri, leading to aftershocks and the destruction of some structures. An immediate tsunami warning was not issued. Three hours later, a second quake with a magnitude of 6.9 occurred, centered in Pematangsiantar, 126 kilometers southeast of Medan. Indonesian authorities have advised residents in coastal areas to stay away from beaches and move to higher ground to avoid potential tsunamis. Rescue teams continue their efforts in the affected regions. It is worth noting that the country is located within the Pacific Ring of Fire, which causes frequent earthquakes and geological activity.
