Earthquakes jolt Indonesia, Panama, Costa Rica, and Kuril Islands. Early on Thursday, August 4, a magnitude-5.8 quake shook West Sumatra and Bengkulu provinces on Sumatra Island in Indonesia as it struck 166 kilometers northwest of Bengkulu city. Meanwhile in Latin America, a temblor measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale hit the border region of Panama and Costa Rica, 36 kilometers southeast of Golfito, Costa Rica. In the early hours of Friday, a powerful 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck off the Kuril Islands in Russia's Sakhalin Oblast region, centered 230 kilometers southwest of Severo-Kurilsk. Thankfully, there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties for any of these events. While we are relieved to hear of the safety of those in the quake-stricken regions, we pray that such potential instabilities are calmed through humanity's more considerate care of the Earth.
