Magnitude 7 earthquake rocks Indonesia’s Lombok island
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA major earthquake rocks Indonesia’s Lombok island, the US Geological Survey reports, just a week after a quake killed 17 people on the holiday island.
The latest quake had a magnitude of seven and struck just 10 kilometers underground, the USGS says.
Officials issue a tsunami warning and are urging people to move away from the ocean.
“Please go to a place with higher ground, while remaining calm and not panicking,” Dwikorita Karnawati, head of the agency for meteorology, climatology and geophysics, tells local TV.
