13 Sept 10:40Key points summarised by AI
A powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Indonesia's Lombok island, causing at least 82 deaths and widespread panic among residents and tourists across Lombok and Bali.
The quake triggered numerous aftershocks, resulting in hundreds of injuries and extensive damage to thousands of homes, with most fatalities caused by falling rubble.
Thousands fled to emergency shelters, and while an initial tsunami warning was issued, it was subsequently withdrawn.
This severe tremor followed a 6.4 magnitude quake on July 29, which had already killed 14 people and injured 162 in Lombok.
Detained Suu Kyi receives UK royal package: Myanmar govt

Myanmar's detained Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, received a package from Britain's King Charles III, which included two gardening books, a sealed envelope, and diplomatic communication.
The event marked the first release of images of Suu Kyi in two months and saw Myanmar authorities describe her as a "special female prisoner" for the first time.
Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a 2021 military coup that triggered an ongoing civil war, remains under house arrest on charges that rights groups contend are politically motivated.
