JAKARTA: A strong 6.8 magnitude earthquake rocked eastern Indonesia Friday, the United States Geological Survey said, triggering a tsunami warning and sending panicked residents running from their homes.
The quake struck at a relatively shallow depth of 17 kilometres off the east coast of Sulawesi island, the USGS said, where a 7.5-magnitude quake-tsunami around the city of Palu killed more than 4,300 people last year.Indonesia's geophysics agency issued a tsunami warning for coastal communities in Morowali district, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.
But the USGS warned that considerable damage was possible in poorly built or badly designed structures. The quake hit off the coast of eastern Sulawesi, on the other side of the island from disaster-hit Palu."Friends, I am now in Luwuk Banggai, Central Sulawesi. The earthquake is very strong here. People are running around. Heard that there's potential for Tsumani. Please pray for our safety."
Teman teman, saya sedang di luwuk banggai sulawesi tengah. Disini gempanya kenceng banget. Orang orang udah pada lari lari . Katanya berpotensi tsunami. Doakan aman. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
