Powerful earthquake strikes Indonesia leaving dozens injured and two critical
At least 29 people were injured after a powerful 6.0-magnitude earthquake jolted Indonesia's central Sulawesi, sending residents scrambling from buildings in the early hours of Sunday. The shallow quake, striking at a depth of 1 km (6.2 miles), shook Poso Regency and was felt across nearby areas, the country's disaster mitigation agency (BNPB) said. Two people were critically injured and were receiving treatment at a hospital. One church was reportedly damaged, and sections of another church that were under renovation gave way during the earthquake, trapping several people under the rubble. A video from Poso shows worshippers gathered in a church singing hymns when the tremors struck. As the shaking intensified, the congregation abruptly stopped, with people screaming and rushing towards the exits in panic. Another video captured by a surveillance camera showed intense shaking inside a grocery store. There were no immediate reports of deaths, BNBP added. Indonesia sits on the so-called "Pacific Ring of Fire", a highly seismically active zone, where different plates on the Earth's crust meet and create large numbers of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
