Indonesia Earthquake Kills Dozens in Aceh Province

A powerful earthquake struck Indonesia's Aceh province on Wednesday, killing at least 45 people and injuring hundreds more. The 6.2-magnitude quake struck at 5:03 am local time, causing widespread destruction and panic in the region.

The epicenter of the earthquake was located in the Pidie Jaya district, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) west of the provincial capital, Banda Aceh. The quake was reportedly felt as far away as the capital city of Jakarta, over 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) east.

Rescue teams have been deployed to the affected areas, where they are working to search for survivors and provide aid to those in need. Many buildings have been damaged or destroyed, including homes, schools, and mosques.

The Indonesian National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) has reported that at least 45 people have been killed, with hundreds more injured. The agency has also reported that over 1,000 buildings have been damaged or destroyed.

Aceh province is located on the northern tip of Sumatra island and is prone to earthquakes due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire. The region was devastated by a massive tsunami in 2004 that killed over 170,000 people.

The Indonesian government has declared a state of emergency in the affected areas and has deployed troops to assist with the relief efforts. International aid agencies are also providing support to the affected communities.

The death toll is expected to rise as rescue teams continue to search for survivors and recover bodies from the rubble.
