Jakarta: Strong quake tremors were felt in eastern Indonesia on Wednesday. However, there is no news of serious loss of life or property. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the magnitude of the quake was 6.1 and its epicenter was 65 km south-southeast of Gorontalo at a depth of 147 km in the ocean. The tremor was felt in the provinces of Gorontalo, North Sulawesi, North Maluku and Central Sulawesi.
Indonesia’s Meteorological, Climate and Geophysical Agency has not issued a tsunami warning. Because Indonesia is located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, the risk of earthquakes is high here.
At least 331 people were killed and around 600 injured when a magnitude 5.6 earthquake struck Cianjur city in West Java province on November 21. About 4,340 people were killed in the 2018 Sulawesi earthquake and tsunami. At the same time, in 2004 there was an earthquake so powerful in the Indian Ocean that the tsunami killed him more than 230,000 people in 12 countries. Most of them were from Aceh, Indonesia.
