A magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck central Indonesia on Tuesday, shaking parts of Central Sulawesi. The initial quake was centered about 46 kilometers east-southeast of Palu, the provincial capital, and struck at a shallow depth of roughly 10 kilometers, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The tremor lasted more than a minute and was felt strongly in areas including Palu and Sigi. Indonesian officials did not report any immediate damage or casualties in the early aftermath, and no tsunami threat was indicated by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency. The earthquake was followed by strong aftershocks, including a subsequent quake measuring about 5.2. The reports also note that Indonesia lies along multiple seismic faults and experiences frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity. A past comparison cited by one outlet is a January 2021 earthquake near Mamuju on Sulawesi, which caused significant casualties and prompted many residents to sleep outdoors due to aftershock fears. Authorities continue assessing the situation as information on impacts remains preliminary.
