Rescuers search for victims today at the ruin of a building flattened during an earthquake in Mamuju.
The country’s disaster mitigation agency said no damage or casualties were reported from Saturday’s magnitude-5.0 tremor in the West Sulawesi districts of Mamuju and Majene, which shook the area a day after the magnitude-6.2 quake. More than 820 people were injured and about 15,000 left their homes after the quake, the agency said. Some sought refuge in the mountains, while others went to cramped evacuation centres, witnesses said.
Arianto Ardi from the search and rescue agency in Mamuju told Reuters that search efforts would focus on the two hotels.
