A strong 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia late Friday/early Saturday local time. Following the quake, authorities issued a tsunami warning for specific areas within the country, according to Reuters. The earthquake occurred at a depth of 35 kilometers and was followed by at least three aftershocks, as reported by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC). Fortunately, Australia has stated that the earthquake poses no tsunami threat to its shores. The extent of damage and potential casualties in Indonesia is currently being assessed. Residents in affected areas are urged to heed official warnings and evacuate to higher ground if necessary. Further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
