A 6.7-magnitude earthquake strikes off Sulawesi in Indonesia, prompting new travel guidance and renewed safety checks for visitors in the region. Reports from multiple outlets cite Indonesian authorities’ assessment that there is no danger of a tsunami following the quake. Officials continue to urge travellers to follow local instructions, monitor official updates, and be cautious due to the possibility of aftershocks in the hours and days after the main event. The guidance also reflects standard earthquake preparedness measures, including awareness of evacuation routes and the location of safer areas, particularly in buildings that may not be designed for seismic activity. Several sources frame the question of whether travel is safe as dependent on real-time conditions, including the status of infrastructure and any further government advisories. While the reports do not suggest immediate tsunami risk, they emphasize staying informed through official channels and local authorities, and taking care around damaged structures or unstable areas until assessments are completed.
