A 6.7 magnitude earthquake shook part of Indonesia on Tuesday and was followed by strong aftershocks.

The initial temblor caused strong shaking lasting more than a minute in Palu, a city of about 400,000 people and the capital of Central Sulawesi province.

Scattered damage was reported, and hospitals evacuated patients, some with IV drips, outside as a safety measure.
