A powerful 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck Indonesia’s central Sulawesi early Sunday, leaving at least 29 people injured, including two in critical condition.
The quake, centered in Poso Regency at a shallow depth of 10 km, sent tremors across surrounding regions and rattled residents from their sleep.
While no deaths were immediately reported, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) confirmed damage and ongoing assessments.
Indonesia lies on the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” a volatile seismic zone where tectonic plates collide, making the nation one of the most disaster-prone regions in the world.
The quake triggered panic among locals, many rushing to safer ground in fear of aftershocks.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation and are urging residents to remain vigilant.
The Sulawesi tremor is another reminder of Indonesia’s vulnerability to devastating natural disasters and the urgent need for preparedness.
