A 6.5 -magnitude earthquake struck the Baba region in eastern Indonesia on Tuesday, according to the US Geological Survey, but a monitor confirmed that there was no threat from a “tsunami”.
The epicenter of the earthquake, which struck at 17:24 (8:24 GMT), was determined 193 km northwest of the town of Appo in the province of Babua. The “calm center for warning from a tsunami” confirmed that there is no threat to a tsunami, according to the French Press Agency.
And at the end of last month, the American and Japanese authorities warned that high tsunami (tsunami) waves may hit the west of the Pacific Ocean, especially the coasts of Japan, Russia and the Hawaiian archipelago, after a huge earthquake of 8.8 degrees, which occurred off the Russian coast of the Kamchatka island.
At the time, the Indonesian Geophysical Authority issued a warning that a “tsunami” at a height of 0.5 meters may hit some parts of Indonesia. She said in a statement that the “tsunami” waves may reach some coastal cities and towns in the Baba region, the northern province of Maluko and the southern province of Sulawesi.
