At least 42 killed as strong quake rocks Indonesia's Sulawesi island

In Indonesia a powerful earthquake has rocked Sulawesi island, killing at least 42 people, with more feared dead as rescuers search for survivors. The 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck yesterday, just hours after an earlier, smaller tremor. Hundreds of people were injured and thousands displaced by the quake.

Indonesia has a history of devastating earthquakes and tsunamis, with more than 2,000 killed in a 2018 Sulawesi quake. Indonesian President Joko Widodo offered condolences to the victims, urging people to stay calm and for the authorities to step up search efforts. (AIR)
