Tsunami Alert Issued in Indonesia After Russia's Powerful Quake

Indonesia's geophysics agency has warned of potential tsunami waves following a significant earthquake in Russia. The agency predicts that waves measuring less than 0.5 meters could potentially affect some Indonesian regions.

The warning specifically targets the coastal areas of the Papua region, North Maluku, and South Sulawesi provinces, where small tsunami waves may come ashore on Wednesday afternoon.

This alert comes as a precaution following an 8.7 magnitude earthquake in Russia. The geophysics agency's statement advises residents and authorities in these areas to remain vigilant and prepared for possible impacts.
