Indonesia Earthquake: MASSIVE 6.7 Tremor Strikes Tanimbar Islands | No Tsunami Alert Issued [Video]

Indonesia Earthquake: MASSIVE 6.7 Tremor Strikes Tanimbar Islands | No Tsunami Alert Issued

A powerful magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck near Indonesia’s Pulau Pulau Tanimbar region at a depth of 49.6 miles, causing strong tremors but fortunately no tsunami threat. The earthquake was recorded late at night, sending residents scrambling from their homes. Despite the strong seismic shock, early assessments indicate minimal structural damage and no immediate reports of casualties. Indonesian authorities, along with global seismic monitors, continue to evaluate the aftershock potential and regional impact. Indonesia lies along the volatile “Ring of Fire” and frequently experiences seismic events of varying magnitudes. Emergency response teams remain on alert as aftershocks are possible. The US Geological Survey has classified the quake as moderate but deep, which likely reduced surface-level devastation. While the region breathes a sigh of relief over the lack of a tsunami, experts warn of potential tremors in the coming hours. Local officials urge residents to remain cautious but calm. #IndonesiaEarthquake #TanimbarIslands #SeismicActivity #NoTsunami #EarthquakeUpdate #NaturalDisaster #RingOfFire #BreakingNews #IndonesiaNews #PulauPulauTanimbar #USGS #GeologicalAlert #EarthquakeToday #AftershocksPossible #TremorAlert #SeismicZone #EmergencyResponse #StaySafeIndonesia #GeologicalNews #DisasterPreparedness Also Read Earthquake in Delhi-NCR: 3.7 Magnitude Quake Jolts Jhajjar, Tremors Felt Across Haryana :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/4-1-magnitude-earthquake-in-delhi-ncr-quake-jolts-jhajjar-tremors-felt-across-haryana-7798445.html?ref=DMDesc Delhi Earthquake: Netizens Flood Social Media With Memes :: https://www.oneindia.com/new-delhi/delhi-earthquake-netizens-flood-social-media-with-funny-memes-7796679.html?ref=DMDesc Earthquake Tremors Felt In Delhi And NCR; Eyewitnesses Share Their 'Scary' Experience :: https://www.oneindia.com/new-delhi/earthquake-tremors-felt-in-delhi-ncr-7796657.html?ref=DMDesc
