The earthquake triggered tsunami waves, though reports vary in scope. RT reported the earthquake triggered tsunami waves while AP News stated authorities issued a tsunami warning for parts of eastern Indonesia. CBS News also documented the shocks and aftermath with video footage.
Initial reports indicated five deaths, but the number has since risen to at least 47 according to CBS News. No right-leaning sources reported on the rising death toll; RT’s coverage focused primarily on the initial earthquake and tsunami threat.
