A 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck early Sunday off Indonesia, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake rattled a remote swath of sea
between the Pacific and Indian oceans, north of Australia and east of
Timor-Leste, some 5.6 miles (9 kilometers) deep, according to the U.S.
agency.
It was centered approximately 212 miles
(340 kilometers) west-northwest of Saumlaki in Indonesia’s Tanimbar
Islands, 217 miles east-northeast of Dili, Timor-Leste, and 226 miles of
Ambon, Indonesia.
Neither the Pacific Tsunami Warning
Center nor the Japan Meteorological Agency issued tsunami warnings or
advisories immediately after the tremor.
