A strong earthquake struck off of Bali’s coast today, rattling the island and neighboring West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).
According to the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), a 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck some 74 kilometers southeast from Kuta at 4:36pm.
The quake’s epicenter was recorded at a depth of 124 kilometers in the ocean. Thankfully, BMKG says there is no potential for a tsunami.
The tremors were so significant on land that we received reports of Bali residents going outside in search of safety.
There are no reports of casualties or major damages as of this article’s publication.
