Earthquake

On December 12, 1992, a massive earthquake struck off the coast of Flores Island in Indonesia, registering 7.8 on the Richter scale.

Tangshan, a city in Hebei Province, is located in northern China, approximately 120 kilometers (75 miles) east of Beijing.

The tremors were felt across northern and western India, reaching as far as Delhi, Nepal, and even some parts of Pakistan.

The earthquake triggered a massive landslide from Mount Mayuyama, a volcanic peak within the Unzen complex.

Before the earthquake, minor tremors were reportedly felt across the region. Yet, authorities failed to take these warnings seriously.
