A powerful earthquake struck central Sulawesi on Tuesday, with authorities reporting no immediate casualties or major damage.
June 16, 2026: A 6.7-magnitude earthquake struck Indonesia’s central Sulawesi Island on Tuesday, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The quake was classified as shallow, a factor that can often increase the intensity of ground shaking felt near the epicentre.
The tremor was recorded in the central part of Sulawesi, prompting concern among residents in nearby areas. However, there were no immediate reports of injuries, fatalities, or significant structural damage following the earthquake.
Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation and assess any potential impact in affected regions. Indonesia frequently experiences seismic activity due to its location along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” one of the world’s most active earthquake and volcanic zones.
