Earthquake tremors have been felt once again in Indonesia. The intensity of the earthquake has been measured at 7 on the Richter scale. The earthquake occurred on Friday at 3:25 Indian time, whose center was 96 km north of Tuban, Indonesia. Looking at the intensity of the earthquake, it can be called dangerous. So far no news has come to the fore regarding loss of life and property. Although people are in panic due to strong tremors.
Regarding the latest earthquake, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said on Friday that a 7.0 magnitude earthquake was recorded in the sea north of Indonesia’s Java Island. Significantly, earlier on Thursday also earthquake tremors were felt in Indonesia. Although the intensity of the earthquake was less then. The intensity of the earthquake that occurred on Thursday was measured at 4.9. Due to the depth of the earthquake being at 70 km, the tremors were mild and there was no loss of life or property.
Strong Earthquake in January as well
Even in January in Indonesia, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.1 had struck the region. The epicenter of the earthquake was 65 km south-southeast of Gorontalo at a depth of 147 km in the ocean. Tremors were felt in Gorontalo, North Sulawesi, North Maluku and Central Sulawesi provinces. Due to Indonesia’s position on the ‘Ring of Fire’ in the Pacific Ocean, the risk of earthquakes is high here.
