Tsunami Alert for Indonesia after Russian Quake

Indonesia's geophysics agency has issued a warning that tsunami waves, potentially less than 0.5 meters in height, could affect parts of Indonesia on Wednesday afternoon. This follows an 8.7 magnitude earthquake in Russia.

The agency highlighted that the tsunami could potentially reach coastal cities and towns in the Papua region, North Maluku province, and Gorontalo province.

Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and urging residents in the affected regions to remain vigilant and prepare for possible evacuations.
