        "summary": "Southeast Sulawesi province experienced five earthquakes on Friday caused by active fault activity, with two significant quakes felt by residents in East Kolaka (magnitude 3.2) and Buton (magnitude 3.2) districts. The earthquakes, ranging from magnitude 1.6 to 3.2, were centred on land at shallow depths and caused tremors measured at intensity II-III on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale across affected areas.",
        "content": "<p>Kendari \u2014 Indonesia\u2019s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency\n(BMKG) in Kendari reported that several areas in Southeast Sulawesi\nprovince (Sultra) were struck by earthquakes on Friday due to active\nfault activity.<\/p>\n<p>Nasrol Adil, Acting Head of BMKG Region IV, stated that of the total\nearthquakes that occurred, two were reported to have been felt by the\npublic. \u201cThe first was in East Kolaka district with a magnitude of 3.2\nat 07:48 WITA, and the second in Buton district with a magnitude of 3.2\nat 11:55 WITA,\u201d Adil said.<\/p>\n<p>He indicated that based on BMKG analysis, the epicentre of the East\nKolaka earthquake was located at coordinates 4.07 South Latitude; 121.85\nEast Longitude, or more precisely on land 8 kilometres south of East\nKolaka at a depth of 4 kilometres.<\/p>\n<p>Based on shakemap estimates and public reports, the East Kolaka\nearthquake caused tremors in the district at an intensity scale of III\nModified Mercalli Intensity (MMI), with Kolaka district experiencing\nII-III MMI intensity. The tremors were distinctly felt indoors, as if a\ntruck were passing by, and were noticed by many people inside buildings\nduring daytime, whilst a few outside reported items such as pottery\nbreaking and doors and windows creaking.<\/p>\n<p>The Buton district earthquake was centred at coordinates 5.66 South\nLatitude; 122.82 East Longitude, or 17 kilometres south of Buton\ndistrict on land at a depth of 13 kilometres. The tremors in Wabula\nsub-district, Buton district, were measured at II-III MMI intensity.\nLight hanging objects swayed, and the tremors were distinctly felt\nindoors, as if a truck were passing.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the two felt earthquakes, three other earthquakes\noccurred in Southeast Sulawesi: a magnitude 1.6 earthquake in South\nKonawe, a magnitude 1.7 in East Kolaka, and a magnitude 1.6 in Kolaka\ndistrict.<\/p>",
