A 6.6-magnitude earthquake struck off eastern parts of Indonesia on Sunday, but no tsunami warning was issued.
According to the Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology & Geophysics, the earthquake jolted at 18:52 p.m. local time with epicenter at 222 km northeast Maluku Baratdaya of Maluku province and with the depth at 131 km under sea bed.
"The center of the quake was too deep that the shakes could not be felt," the Agency stated.
There were no reports of casualties or damage to property, said reports quoting the Agency.
The South-East Asian country is known for its high volcanic and seismic activity, as it sits on the so-called Pacific "Ring of Fire" where tectonic plates meet.
A 9.1-magnitude quake struck Indonesia's eastern coast of Sumatra in 2004, triggering a massive tsunami that also slammed the Indian Ocean littoral States of Sri Lanka, India, Thailand and Malaysia killing an estimated 230,000 people.
