JAKARTA: A 5.3-magnitude earthquake jolted Indonesia's eastern Papua province early Saturday (Feb 8), causing no casualties, according to the country's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency.

The agency did not issue a tsunami warning, as the tremors were not expected to trigger giant waves.
