        "summary": "A magnitude 5.9 tectonic earthquake struck Manado and surrounding areas on Friday morning, reportedly caused by deformation within the Maluku Sea Plate. BMKG said the quake occurred at 08:05 local time, with a shallow depth and no tsunami; aftershocks were not yet detected at 08:20. Residents were advised to remain calm and avoid damaged buildings while authorities investigate.",
        "content": "<p>The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) said that\nrock deformation activity within the Maluku Sea Plate has triggered a\ntectonic earthquake of magnitude 5.9 that shook the city of Manado and\nits surrounding areas on Friday morning. BMKG\u2019s Director of Earthquakes\nand Tsunamis, Wijayanto, in Jakarta, said the event occurred at 08:05:09\nWIB and that modelling results indicate the earthquake is not capable of\ngenerating a tsunami. The earthquake\u2019s epicentre lies at 1.17\u00b0 N,\n126.14\u00b0 E, or precisely located at sea 117 kilometres southeast of\nBitung City, North Sulawesi, at a depth of 38 kilometres. Wijayanto\nexplained that, considering the epicenter location and hypocentral\ndepth, the quake is a shallow-type event. The source mechanism analysis\nshows that the fault structure has an oblique thrust movement. Based on\nshake intensity reports, the quake was felt strongly in the Batang Dua\nIsland area with intensity III-IV MMI, where during the day vibrations\nwere felt by many people inside their homes. The tremor extended to\nSofifi, West Halmahera, Tidore, and Manado City with intensity II-III\nMMI, consisting of vibrations clearly felt inside homes as if a large\ntruck were passing by. By around 08:20 WIB, BMKG monitoring did not show\nany signs of aftershocks. Nevertheless, BMKG urged residents in\nsurrounding areas to stay calm, avoid buildings that are cracked or\ndamaged by the tremor, and not to be influenced by unverified\ninformation.<\/p>",
