A strong 7.0-magnitude earthquake was recorded in the sea north of the main Indonesian island of Java, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said on Friday, with no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
Employees of a department store wait outside the building in Denpasar on the resort island of Bali on April 14, 2023, after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake was recorded in the sea north of the main Indonesian island of Java.
Indonesia experiences frequent quakes due to its position on the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, an arc of intense seismic activity that stretches from Japan through Southeast Asia and across the Pacific basin. Klistjart Tarissa, 25, a resident of Bandung in West Java, told AFP she “was a bit panicked because I was second floor and I didn’t know whether the quake’s intensity was getting bigger or smaller”.
“I thought the wind was blowing, causing my keys to rattle, but it lasted for a while,” said 33-year-old Simon Arsa Manggala.A 5.5-magnitude aftershock was recorded by Indonesia’s geological agency in the same area about an hour after the main tremor.
