Ammon News - One person died and dozens were injured after a 6.7-magnitude earthquake hit ​Indonesia's Sulawesi island on Tuesday, the disaster ‌mitigation agency said.

The quake struck on Tuesday morning, with the epicentre recorded about ​42 km (26 miles) to the southeast ​of the town of Palu at a ⁠depth of 10 km, Indonesia's geophysics agency ​BMKG said.

One person died in the Sigi ​region, the disaster agency said late on Tuesday, without providing further details. It said 38 people were injured.

There ​was damage on the road connecting ​three regions in Central Sulawesi province.

The agency said the ‌quake ⁠also damaged places of worship, bridges and offices, as well as 67 homes.

The quake did not trigger a tsunami.

In 2018, a 7.5-magnitude ​earthquake hit ​Palu and ⁠its surrounding areas, triggering a tsunami of up to 6 metres (20 feet) ​and killing thousands, in one of ​Indonesia's ⁠worst recent disasters.

Prone to earthquakes, Indonesia is a tectonically complex part of the "Pacific Ring of ⁠Fire", ​a seismically active belt of ​volcanoes stretching from South America to the Russian Far ​East.
