A powerful and shallow earthquake hit West Sulawesi on last Friday, which the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) believed was caused by local fault.
The tremor destroyed several buildings, including the governor's office, a military office, and Maleo Hotel.
The earthquake, which also damaged several houses and a public health center, additionally triggered three landslides along the Majene-Mamuju road section and disrupted the transportation of people and goods.
