JAKARTA - The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) detected a magnitude 5.8 earthquake that shook the Luwuk area, Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi (Sulteng) to Gorontalo, Friday, June 5.
Based on information exposed by BMKG in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Friday morning, the epicenter was in the sea at a depth of 91 kilometers northeast of Puah Island.
The impact of the shock from this tectonic plate activity phenomenon is reported to have spread widely and is felt by the community in several districts/cities across provinces.
BMKG noted that the intensity of the largest earthquake was felt in the Luwuk area and Bone Bolango Regency with a scale III-IV Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI).
In addition, the earthquake tremors were also detected weakly to moderately on the III MMI scale in Gorontalo City, as well as the II-III MMI scale in Taliabu Regency, Pohuwato, Boalemo, and North Gorontalo.
Until now, BMKG is still conducting intensive monitoring periodically because the earthquake parameters in the early stage are still potentially updated as more complete seismic data from local seismic stations are entered.
