6.6 magnitude earthquake hits Indonesia

An earthquake measuring 6.6 on the Richter scale struck off the coast of Indonesia’s Java island on Monday evening.
The US Geological Survey confirmed that the strong earthquake struck at a depth of more than 500 km (300 miles), adding that “there is a slight possibility of injuries and damages.”
Indonesia is one of the most active areas of earthquake on Earth, and forms part of the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire.
The most active ground layers are located in this region of the world, some of which move at a speed of 7 cm annually.
In 2018, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake and a subsequent tsunami on Sulawesi island left more than 4,300 people dead or missing.
