Submitted by edmundus on

On August 26, 2024, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 took place in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). According to BMKG, DIY is a province that needs to be vigilant because it is one of the vulnerable points for megathrust earthquakes. Megathrust earthquakes occur when tectonic plates move suddenly in a subduction zone, generating enormous energy. These events are often followed by tsunamis that can cause massive damage and loss of life.
