Jakarta - An earthquake measuring 6.0 struck Indonesian islands off North Sulawesi province Friday afternoon, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage, officials said.
The quake took place at a depth of 65 kilometers, about 260 kilometers south-east of Tahuna, 2,652 kilometers north-east of Jakarta. It occurred at 2:39 pm Jakarta time (0739 GMT), the Indonesian Meteorology and Geophysics Agency said.
It was the latest in a series of earthquakes to rock the country in recent weeks.
