Indonesia rocked by 7.5 magnitude quake, tsunami warning issued
JAKARTA, Sept 28, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Indonesia was struck by a very strong 7.5
magnitude earthquake Friday, the US Geological Survey said, and the national
disaster agency issued a tsunami warning.
The quake hit central Sulawesi island at a shallow depth of some 10
kilometres (six miles), just hours after a smaller quake killed at least one
person in the same part of the country.
Indonesia’s disaster agency issued a tsunami warning for the west coast
of Sulawesi and east coast of Indonesia’s part of Borneo island.
