The country with the largest Muslim population in the world was shaken! Two earthquakes after landslides; 17 people died
Jakarta, November 27, 2025 (Special Correspondent): Indonesia, which has the largest Muslim population in the world, has suffered a huge natural disaster. Two major earthquakes shook the country in the last three days after landslides occurred in the area near the island of Sumatra. So far, 17 innocent people have been killed in these disasters and thousands have been left homeless. The tremors of the earthquakes have spread fear among the people in the area, and relief work has been started immediately.
Indonesia has a total population of about 280 million, of which 87 percent are Muslims. Such disasters occur frequently as the country falls in the earthquake-prone 'Ring of Fire' belt. At least 4,000 houses have been destroyed by landslides in Sumatra in the last three days. Many people are still missing, and the homeless have been moved to temporary relief camps. The landslides have blocked rivers and roads, making it difficult to deliver aid.
Earthquake details
The first major tremors of the earthquake were felt around 10 am. The magnitude of the earthquake was recorded at 6.6 on the Richter scale. The tremor was centered near the city of Sinabung on the island of Simulveda, near Sumatra. The earthquake was 16 miles deep and lasted for about 7 seconds. It is believed to be the strongest earthquake in Indonesia this year. The second tremor was felt around 12 pm, measuring 4.4. The tremors shook buildings in the area, but major damage was avoided.
Local authorities have issued a warning and have asked citizens to leave their homes and stay in safe places. Relief efforts are in full swing with the help of the United Nations. The risk has increased due to the combined outbreak of landslides and earthquakes in the area. According to experts, Indonesia faces such disasters every year due to the 'Ring of Fire'.
