A powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake has rocked the Northern Molucca Sea region of Indonesia, prompting authorities to issue a tsunami warning for nearby coastal areas. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the quake struck at a shallow depth of just 10 kilometers (6.21 miles), amplifying its potential impact.
The massive tremor occurred on Thursday, setting off alarms and sending residents rushing to higher ground in anticipation of possible tsunami waves. Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG) quickly issued a tsunami alert, urging people living near the coast to evacuate to safer inland locations.
