A strong earthquake measuring 6.7 in magnitude rattled Indonesia’s Sulawesi island on Tuesday, according to the country’s geophysics agency, BMKG.
The agency reported that the quake’s epicenter was situated approximately 42 kilometers — or about 26 miles — to the southeast of the town of Palu. It struck at a depth of 10 kilometers below the surface.
BMKG confirmed that the earthquake did not generate a tsunami risk for the surrounding region.
