A strong 6.2-magnitude quake struck in Indonesia's north Sulawesi province today, but there were no reports of any damage or injuries.
The quake hit about 20 km northeast of Melonguane city at a depth of 50 km. No tsunami alert was issued. "Tremors are felt in the area, but not significant ones. There's no report of damage," agency official Suharjono said.
The Indonesian archipelago sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire where continental plates meet, causing frequent seismic and volcanic activity.
