A magnitude 5.6 earthquake struck Northern Sumatra, Indonesia, at a depth of 86 km, as reported by GFZ.

On Tuesday, a magnitude 5.6 earthquake was reported in Northern Sumatra, Indonesia, as indicated by the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ). The earthquake struck at a depth of 86 kilometers (approximately 53.44 miles). This seismic event adds to the ongoing geological activity in the region, which is prone to earthquakes due to its location along the tectonic plate boundaries.

The magnitude 5.6 earthquake in Northern Sumatra has been confirmed by GFZ and occurred at a considerable depth. Continued monitoring is essential for assessing further seismic activity in this tectonically active region.
