Indonesia experiences 6.9 quake off coast
Indonesia's coasts were struck by an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.9 on the Richter scale off the Flores region, at a depth of 10 kilometers and 162 kilometers from Labuan Bajo. The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre issued warnings of strong aftershocks and the possibility of tsunami waves, amid concerns over potentially catastrophic effects. This earthquake occurred four days after another 5.1-magnitude quake in the Engano area, and no reports of casualties or damage have been received so far. Indonesia, located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, is continually subjected to earthquakes; the strongest recorded was in 2004, measuring 9.1, which triggered a tsunami that claimed over 170,000 lives.
