A powerful magnitude 7.5 earthquake in Indonesia triggered a tsunami and swept houses away in two cities Friday, the country’s disaster agency said. The earthquake struck the central Sulawesi region around 6 p.m. and was centered at a depth of 6 miles about 35 miles northeast of Donggala, the U.S. Geological Survey said. A tsunami was reported to have hit the cities of Palu and Donggala, the Indonesia disaster agency said. “Many houses have collapsed,” an official with the disaster agency told the Associated Press. A massive magnitude-9.1 earthquake struck off Sumatra in western Indonesia in December 2004.
