A 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck off Maluku province of eastern Indonesia on June 24, but was not potential for tsunami, the meteorology, climatological and geophysics agency said.
The
quake rocked at 09:53 a.m. local time (0253 GMT) with the epicenter at 245 km
northeast of Maluku Baratdaya and the depth at 231 km under sea bed, an
official in charge at the agency, Indi Afrantiana disclosed.
"This quake's epicenter
was located very deep at sea bed, so that it is not potential to trigger
tsunami," she told Xinhua over phone.
The intensity of the quake
was felt at V MMI (Modified Mercalli Intensity) in Saumlaki, III to IV MMI in
Tual, and III MMI in Sumbawa and Sorong, the

Indonesia is prone to earthquake as it sits on a
quake-impacted zone called the Pacific Ring of Fire.
