One dead, dozens injured after 6.7 magnitude quake hits Indonesia's Sulawesi island

A 6.7-magnitude earthquake struck Indonesia's Sulawesi island on Tuesday morning, resulting in one death and 38 injuries, according to the disaster mitigation agency. The quake's epicenter was located approximately 42 kilometers southeast of the town of Palu at a depth of 10 kilometers. Strong aftershocks were felt, causing scattered damage to roads, places of worship, bridges, offices, and 67 homes. The Sigi region reported the sole fatality.
