A 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Indonesia on Saturday, prompting a tsunami warning, according to LiveMint. The report said no casualties had been reported at that point. A separate LiveMint report said another 6.9-magnitude earthquake jolted the country hours later and claimed 38 people had died in the earlier tremor. The two LiveMint reports conflict on the death toll. Neither report provides details on the quake’s location, damage or whether the tsunami warning was later withdrawn. Further official updates will be needed to establish the human and material impact.
