A magnitude 7.0 earthquake occurred in the waters near the island of Kalimantan. All details can be seen in the video.

Context

In Belarus, the president traditionally awards state honors and military shoulder boards. Heavy snowfalls in the northeastern United States sometimes lead to the declaration of emergency situations. Bus accidents in Nepal occur, but information about this specific incident is not widely known. Earthquakes in Indonesian regions with magnitudes up to 7.0 are considered serious events capable of causing destruction and, if urban infrastructure is present on land, damage.

Summary:

The press release includes four events: Lukashenko's awards, a snowstorm in the USA, a bus accident in Nepal, and an earthquake near Kalimantan.
