6.5-Magnitude Earthquake Jolts Indonesia’s West Java Province

A powerful 6.5-magnitude undersea earthquake struck Indonesia’s West Java province on Saturday night, sending tremors across the region. The quake, with its epicenter located 151 kilometers southwest of Garut Regency at a depth of 10 kilometers, was felt in the capital, Jakarta, and several other provinces. The earthquake did not trigger any tsunami alerts, but it serves as a reminder of Indonesia’s vulnerability to seismic activity due to its position on the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire.
