Jakarta - An earthquake measuring 6.4 struck islands in north-eastern Indonesia Saturday, but there were no immediate reports of injuries and damage, officials said.
The quake occurred at 4:41 pm (0741 GMT), the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMG) said. Its epicenter was 155 kilometers south-east of the city Labuha in North Maluku province, or about 2,400 kilometers north-east of Jakarta at a depth of 30 kilometers.
The BMG said the quake did not trigger a tsunami.
It was the latest of a series of earthquakes to jolt Indonesia in recent months.
A powerful 7.6-magnitude quake struck off the western coast of Sumatra in September, killing thousands and injuring hundreds of others.
