Jakarta: An earthquake measuring 5 on the Richter scale struck Sunday west of Ternate Island in Indonesia.
The US Geological Survey said that the epicenter of the quake was 121 kilometers west of Ternate Island, and 37 kilometers below the surface.
So far, there have been no reports of material damage or human losses as a result of the earthquake.
Indonesia is regularly exposed to earthquakes due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire where many tectonic plates meet and cause frequent volcanic and seismic activity.
