Volcano Eruption Triggers Urgent Evacuations of Thousands in Indonesia
Indonesia is grappling with a mounting crisis as rescue teams mobilize to evacuate thousands of people following a series of volcanic eruptions that have rattled the region
A 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia's Sumatra island on Sunday, with no reports of damage, according to local authorities.
"The epicentre is in the sea and there is no tsunami warning because at less than 7.0 magnitude it is still considered moderate," said Arif Nurahim, an official at Indonesia's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency, as cited by international media.
The quake hit 640 kilometres southwest of the Banda Aceh province, which was shaken by two huge earthquakes on Wednesday.
Tsunami warnings were issued for the entire Indian Ocean after the 8.6 and 8.2 eartquakes. However, the alerts were lifted later the same day.
