A moderately strong earthquake and an aftershock hit Indonesia’s resort island of Bali early Saturday, killing at least three people and destroying dozens of homes.<\/p>\n


\n <\/section>\n

The quake hit just before dawn, causing people to run outdoors in a panic. It struck just after the island has begun to reopen to tourism as the pandemic wanes.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude 4.8 quake was centered 62 kilometers (38.5 miles) northeast of Singaraja, a Bali port town. Its shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) may have amplified the amount of damage.<\/p>\n

A magnitude 4.3 aftershock followed. That quake was relatively deep, at 282 kilometers (174 miles).<\/p>\n

Photos from the island showed homes buried in rocks and mud and buildings collapsed, walls splintered on the ground.<\/p>\n

Gede Darmada, head of the island’s Search and Rescue Agency, said the agency was still collecting updates on damage and casualties.<\/p>\n

Apart from the three confirmed dead, at least seven people were reported hurt, with head injuries or broken bones.<\/p>\n

The earthquake triggered landslides in a hilly district, killing at least two people and cutting off access to at least three villages, Darmada said.<\/p>\n

It toppled homes and temples in Karangasem, the area closest to the epicenter, killing a 3-year-old girl who was hit by falling debris, he said.<\/p>\n
