Earthquake with Magnitude 6.4 Jolts Indonesia’s Java Island, Citizens Forced To Leave Home| Oneindia
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.
Mount Ruang, a volcano in Indonesia's North Sulawesi Province, erupted multiple times, prompting the highest alert level. Concerns of a potential tsunami arose, leading to evacuations of over 800 people. The eruption, spewing ash over a mile high, highlighted Indonesia's vulnerability to seismic and volcanic activity due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire.

The Ruang volcano in Indonesia's North Sulawesi province erupted multiple times, prompting the evacuation of over 800 people. The eruptions, triggered by recent earthquakes, emitted lava and ash clouds, prompting authorities to raise the alert level. Residents were relocated to Tagulandang Island for safety as the volcano spewed hazardous "explosive hot clouds." Indonesia's location in the seismic "Pacific Ring of Fire" heightens the risk of volcanic activity.

Taiwan Hit With Strongest Earthquake , in 25 Years.
A 7.4-magnitude earthquake rocked
Taiwan early on April 3, AP reports.
Nine people have been confirmed dead so far.
Over 900 others have been injured.
Dozens of people are
trapped in buildings and quarries. .
The massive quake prompted a
tsunami warning that has since been lifted.
Taiwan is usually one of the best-prepared countries for earthquakes, as it experiences them often.
This is because Taiwan is located on the Pacific "Ring of Fire" where most of the planet's earthquakes occur, AP reports. .
But authorities failed to send out alerts this time because they only expected a mild earthquake.
I’ve grown accustomed
to (earthquakes). But today
was the first time I was scared
to tears by an earthquake. , Hsien-hsuen Keng, a resident who lives in
a fifth-floor apartment in Taipei, via AP.
I was awakened by the earthquake.
I had never felt such intense
shaking before, Hsien-hsuen Keng, a resident who lives in
a fifth-floor apartment in Taipei, via AP.
In addition to buildings being
demolished, 35 bridges, roads and
tunnels were damaged by landslides

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.
