7.0 magnitude tremor jolts Indonesia
|
 An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 has rocked eastern parts of Indonesia.
The earthquake occurred at 7:57 a.m. local time (0057 GMT) with the epicenter located 132 kilometers (82 miles) southeast of Labuha in North Maluku province, at a depth of 56 kilometers, Xinhua quoted the Indonesian Meteorology and Geophysics Agency as saying.
However, the US Geological Survey reported that it was a 6.5 magnitude quake, Xinhua said.
The quake came on the heels of a moderate tremor that struck the country's Palau region on Saturday morning.
The 5.9-magnitude earthquake was centered about 361 kilometers (224 miles) north-northwest of Manokwari, a city in the Pacific nation's West Papua province, according to the US Geological Survey.
No tsunami warnings were issued following the earthquake, and there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties in the Saturday quake, which was initially reported as a 6.2 magnitude tremor.
