Moments ago, a 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck South Papua, Indonesia, with its epicenter located approximately 24 kilometers south of Nabire, Kabupaten Nabire, Central Papua. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers. Given the proximity to the epicenter, it is likely that the tremors were strongly felt by residents in the area. Preliminary assessments suggest light to moderate damage to infrastructure may have occurred. It is important to note that the reported magnitude, epicenter, and depth are subject to revision as seismologists analyze additional data and as other monitoring agencies provide further updates.
