Catastrophic Earthquake Strikes Papua New Guinea, Measuring 6.6 on the Richter Scale
A moderate earthquake with an initial magnitude of 6.3 to 6.6 hit Eastern Papua New Guinea on Thursday, according to seismograph recordings shared by the dts News Agency. The exact location of the tremor remains unidentified at this time.
The earthquake occurred at 17:35 local time (09:35 CET) in the eastern part of the country. The recording shows a significant seismic event, but no immediate reports of damage or casualties have been reported following the earthquake.
Earthquakes of this magnitude can regularly cause damage within a radius of up to 70 kilometers. However, as the location of the earthquake is yet to be definitively identified, it is difficult to assess the potential impact at this stage.
It is important to note that the location and magnitude of the earthquake may be revised later by seismologists as they continue their analyses. The image shared by the dts News Agency shows a seismograph recording an earthquake, providing visual evidence of the event.
While the exact location and potential impact of the earthquake are still unknown, it serves as a reminder of the ongoing seismic activity in the region. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available. Stay safe and informed.
