No immediate reports of damage or casualties
A strong 6.6-magnitude earthquake struck off the Indonesian coast early Monday, sending residents running out of their homes, but no tsunami warning was issued.
The quake hit at a depth of 60km (40 miles) under the Maluku Sea, some 175km north northwest of the city of Ternate, according to the USGS.
There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties and Indonesia’s geophysics agency did not issue a tsunami alert.
“We felt the quake and some people got out of their house but there was no real panic.
