Two #earthquakes struck minutes the #BandaSea: Mw 6.9 and followed by Mw 7.1 with just a minutes of difference.
The tsunami advisory has been issued.
Both strike-slip mechanisms; depth: 10km according to the #USGS.
Is this a premonitory earthquake?!

Also, one hour ago (2023-11-08Z04:53) there was a magnitude 7.1 #earthquake in the #BandaSea (#Indonesia) strike-slip Incredible signal at station IU.MWBA (Marble Bar, Western Australia)
