An explosion was felt in Bayan Lepas, Penang, following a 6.4 magnitude earthquake that struck northern Sumatra, Indonesia, at 6:54 pm on Saturday, according to Malaysia's Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia). Despite the tremor being felt in various parts of Peninsular Malaysia, there was no tsunami warning for Malaysia. Reuters reported, citing Indonesia's meteorological agency BMKG, that the earthquake occurred at a depth of 168km, with its epicenter located inland, approximately 11km northeast of Simalungun.
The quake occurred a few hours after a 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit the island of Flores in eastern Indonesia, followed by two strong aftershocks measuring 5.6 and 5.9, and resulting in at least 38 deaths. Penang's Bomb Squad reported receiving several reports of the tremor between 7:23 pm and 7:27 pm, and authorities dispatched teams to monitor the situation at various locations.
In a statement, they clarified that the tremor was reported to have been felt in the South West, Northeast, and Seberang Perai areas.
