A 4.6-magnitude earthquake struck the city of Lomajang in Indonesia on Monday.
The Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics stated that the tremor occurred 112 kilometers south of Lomajang, at a depth of 4 kilometers.
Parts of Indonesia are regularly affected by earthquakes due to their location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, a zone where several tectonic plates converge, leading to frequent volcanic and seismic activity.
It is worth noting that a 9.1-magnitude earthquake hit Aceh province in 2004, triggering a tsunami that killed more than 170,000 people in Indonesia.
