Sumatra hit by 6.1 magnitude quake
A 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck the island of Sumatra in western Indonesia, the fourth in recent days, with the strongest being a 7.7 magnitude quake last Saturday. Both earthquakes caused damage to infrastructure and resulted in 68 deaths and around 135 injuries, prompting urgent measures such as declaring a state of emergency to speed up rescue and evacuation efforts. Rescue teams are focusing on aerial search among the rubble and recovering the missing, as Indonesia remains vulnerable to seismic activity due to its location on the Ring of Fire.
