An earthquake of magnitude-6.7 struck off the coast of Indonesia’s Tanimbar Islands region on Monday, the country’s geophysics agency said, adding there was no tsunami potential.
The quake was at a depth of 98km, the agency said.
The German Research Centre for Geosciences reported the quake was of 6.8 magnitude.
Tremors were felt in several small towns in eastern Indonesia, the agency said.
There were no immediate reports of damage, said Indonesia’s disaster mitigation agency.
Indonesia straddles the Pacific Ring of Fire, a highly seismically active zone where plates on the Earth’s crust meet and create a large number of earthquakes and volcanic activity.
