The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry extended condolences
to Indonesia, Azernews reports, referring to the ministry's
tweet.
'We are deeply saddened by the devastating earthquake in West
Java, Indonesia. We express our heartfelt condolences to the
families of the victims and wish a speedy recovery for the injured.
Azerbaijan stands with friendly and brotherly Indonesia in these
difficult times ,' the tweet reads.
A magnitude 5.6 earthquake struck Indonesia's main
island of Java on November 21, killing at least 252 people,
injuring hundreds more, triggering landslides, and causing the
collapse of hundreds of buildings in the capital Jakarta, 60 miles
away.
Earthquakes are common in Indonesia, which sits on the
'ring of fire' area of tectonic activity in the Pacific. The
country has a history of devastating earthquakes and tsunamis, with
more than 2,000 killed in a 2018 Sulawesi quake.
