Impact verdict

Low impact. USGS authoritative signature confirms M6.7 (mww) at 10 km depth, reviewed, yellow PAGER, peak MMI ~8, and no tsunami warning. BMKG and Antara report aftershock counts ranging from 782 to 1,176, indicating a prolonged aftershock sequence. Antara English reports 319 houses damaged (Sigi: 966 lightly, 219 moderately, 134 heavily damaged units; 762 households/586 people affected) and 3 fatalities, all framed as residential/government response items rather than commercial or industrial damage. No named insured exposure, commercial asset damage, or loss estimate is present in authoritative or trade sources. The 2018 M7.5 Palu tsunami remains contextual only. Absent any commercial/industrial damage or loss pathway, London Market materiality stays low.
