At Least 47 Killed Following 7. 7 Magnitude Earthquake in Indonesia The earthquake that struck eastern Indonesia on Saturday is a stark reminder of the country's vulnerability to seismic disasters.
At least 47 people lost their lives, and hundreds more are feared trapped or injured as rescue teams struggle to reach affected areas. Indonesia's geography makes it a hotspot for earthquakes.
The country straddles the Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic plates collide, creating massive fault lines that can unleash devastating tremors.
