Protesters in Jakarta demand government cuts ties with Sweden over Koran burning
Protesters in Jakarta demand the Indonesian government to cut ties with Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands outside their embassies Monday, over the burning of the Koran by their far-right politicians.
A magnitude-6.4 earthquake struck near Indonesia's Java island, causing tremors felt in Jakarta and prompting evacuations in another city. No immediate casualties or damage were reported, and no tsunami warnings were issued. Indonesia, situated on the Pacific "Ring of Fire," faces frequent seismic activity. Past quakes, like a 2021 Sulawesi tremor and the 2004 Aceh disaster, highlight the nation's vulnerability and the need for robust disaster preparedness.

Tragedy struck as a wooden boat carrying an estimated 150 Rohingya refugees capsized off the coast of Indonesia's Aceh province, sparking fears of multiple fatalities. The vessel encountered distress approximately 19km (12 miles) from the shores of Kuala Bubon on Aceh's west coast, succumbing to turbulent seas on Wednesday morning. Amidst the chaos, six individuals - four women and two men - were plucked from the water by Acehnese fishermen and ushered to safety in a nearby shelter. Tragically, it is believed that the majority of the presumed casualties were women and children, unable to navigate the waters and swept away by relentless currents.

Flash floods and landslides hit Sumatra, Indonesia, claiming ten lives and leaving ten missing. Torrential rains triggered disasters in West Sumatra's Pesisir Selatan regency, displacing 46,000 people. Rescue operations were hindered by adverse weather conditions. At least 14 houses were buried, 20,000 homes flooded, and eight bridges collapsed. Deforestation exacerbates Indonesia's vulnerability to landslides during the rainy season.
