6.0-magnitude quake hits near Indonesian island near Sulawesi region, confirms USGS

A shallow 6.0-magnitude earthquake hit near the Indonesian island of Sulawesi on Saturday, the United States Geological Survey said, with no damage or casualties immediately reported.

Indonesia's geophysics agency reported no immediate tsunami but warned of possible aftershocks. It initially reported a magnitude of 6.3.

Video obtained by AFP showed panicking people in Central Sulawesi's Lambonga village gathered in groups outside of their homes as they sought safety in fear of aftershocks. A 6.2-magnitude quake that shook Sulawesi island in January 2021 killed more than 100 people and left thousands homeless.
