Magnitude 6.1 earthquake hits off Indonesia's East Nusa Tenggara, agency says


JAKARTA(Reuters): A magnitude 6.1 quake struck off the coast of Indonesia's East Nusa Tenggara province, the country's geophysics agency said on Sunday.

In a post on X, the agency said there was no tsunami potential.

The epicentre was located 104 km (65 miles) southeast of Ende city, in the East Nusa Tenggara province at a deep of 47 km, the agency said.

The intensity of the quake was felt at IV MMI (Modified Mercally Intensity) in Ende regency, and III to IV MMI in Waingapu town and Flores Timur regency, it added.

There were no immediate reports of damages or casualties.

The agency also did not issue a tsunami warning as the tremors would not potentially trigger giant waves.

Indonesia, an archipelagic nation, sits on a vulnerable quake-hit zone, called the "Pacific Ring of Fire," making the country prone to earthquakes.
