According to Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency, the tremor struck at a depth of 10 kilometres. Authorities have not reported any casualties or damage so far.

Indonesia, located on the Pacific "Ring of Fire," frequently experiences earthquakes and volcanic activity due to the convergence of multiple tectonic plates.
