Quake hits eastern Indonesia, no casualties reported
JAKARTA (Reuters) - An earthquake of 6.4 strength on the Richter scale struck off the eastern Indonesian island of Talaud early on Saturday, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, an Indonesian official said.
The quake's epicentre was in the sea 26 miles west of Talaud and at a depth of 21 miles, staff official Lukito of the Jakarta earthquake centre told Reuters.
Talaud is between Sulawesi, one of Indonesia's major islands, and Mindanao in the Philippines, and is around 1,400 miles northeast of Jakarta.
"We have confirmed the situation with the police officer at Talaud and he said there were no reports of damage and casualties," Lukito said.
An official at the earthquake office in Sulawesi's Manado, the nearest major city, also said there were no reports of victims or damage so far.
Indonesia's vast archipelago runs along part of the area of intense volcanic and earthquake activity known as the Pacific "Ring of Fire".
