10 killed in Lombok earthquake: Indonesian official
LOMBOK, Indonesia, July 29, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – At least 10 people have died
and dozens more were injured after a shallow 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck
the popular Indonesian holiday island of Lombok on Sunday, officials said.
“The earthquake killed at least 10 people, some 40 people are injured and
dozens of houses were damaged,” said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman for
Indonesia’s disaster mitigation agency.
“We estimate the number will keep rising because we are not done collecting
data,” Nugroho said.
