Two More Earthquakes Hit Indonesian Island, Killing More Than a Dozen
HONG KONG — The Indonesian island of Lombok was reeling on Monday from two earthquakes that killed at least 14 people a day earlier, just two weeks after a separate earthquake devastated the island and killed at least 460 people.
Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, a spokesman for Indonesia’s National Disaster Management Agency, said in a statement that 12 people died on Lombok and neighboring Sumbawa Island when a 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck Lombok on Sunday night.
He said two other people also died on Sunday afternoon when a separate, 6.5-magnitude quake hit Lombok.
The new earthquakes came as the region was still recovering from the earthquake that struck Lombok and the three nearby Gili Islands on Aug. 5, wiping out entire villages and killing hundreds. The United States Geological Survey put the magnitude of that quake at 6.9.
