Three people have been confirmed dead and seven others injured in the wake of the earthquake. Tourism infrastructure and buildings in popular beach destinations like Kuta and Seminyak have sustained significant damage, leaving tourists stranded and businesses reeling.
Authorities are urging residents and tourists to remain alert for any further seismic activity and to follow official instructions. Emergency response teams are on the scene, assisting with rescue and recovery efforts.
