Based on the analysis, the quake was triggered by the normal oblique mechanism; a displacement with the combination of horizontal and vertical movement. "The quake, if observed from the hypocenter, is considered as a shallow quake due to plate’s activity which is expected to be the activity of Palukoro Plate," said Riyadi.

He said, until 04:35 p.m., the BMKG’s observation had not shown any aftershocks. And as of press time, there is no report on damage due to the quake.

The people around the Donggala and Palu area are expected to remain calm and not affected by rumors.
