A 6.3-magnitude earthquake strikes Papua in eastern Indonesia
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center confirmed that there is no tsunami threat/agencies
SHARE

Papua, Indonesia – A 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck the Papua region in eastern Indonesia on Tuesday, the US Geological Survey said, but an observatory confirmed there was no tsunami threat.

The epicenter of the earthquake, which struck at approximately 8:24 GMT, was located 193 kilometers northwest of the town of Abipura in Papua province.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center confirmed that there is no threat of a tsunami, while there have been no reports yet of casualties or damage.

The authority reported earlier that the magnitude of the earthquake reached 6.5 degrees before it declined.

It is noteworthy that Indonesia witnesses frequent earthquakes due to its location on the “Ring of Fire” in the Pacific Ocean, where tectonic plates collide, extending from Japan through Southeast Asia and the Pacific Basin.

A 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck Sulawesi in January 2021, killing more than 100 people and displacing thousands.

In 2018, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake followed by a tsunami in Palu, Sulawesi, also killed more than 2,200 people.
