Magnitude 6.9 quake hits eastern Indonesia – YouTube
The strong quake hit the Banda Sea, southeast of the coastal city of Amahai. There have been no immediate reports of damage or casualties. The earthquake occurred at a depth of 75 kilometers, but no tsunami warning has been issued. Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago, which is prone to earthquakes due to its location on an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin.
