More than 7,700 people were reportedly been injured with over 73,000 still unable to return to their homes due to the consequences of the natural disaster.
Caliber.Az recalls, that an earthquake struck the island of Java on November 21. The epicentre was 74 km southeast of the capital Jakarta. According to the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, the origin was at a depth of 5 km.
Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis are common in Indonesia due to fault lines in the Pacific Basin, making the country one of the most active seismic regions in the world. One of the worst recorded natural disasters in modern history hit the country in 2004, when a powerful earthquake and thereafter following tsunami killed almost 230,000 people.
