A magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck Halmahera, Indonesia, on Wednesday, the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ) said.
The quake was at a depth of 120 km (74.56 miles), GFZ added.
Indonesia’s disaster mitigation agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment when asked if there had been any damage.
Indonesia straddles the “Pacific Ring of Fire”, an area of high seismic activity that rests atop multiple tectonic plates.
