A 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck Halmahera, a province of Maluku, in eastern Indonesia.

The German Research Centre for Geosciences reported on Monday that the earthquake occurred at a depth of 160 km below sea.

There have been no reports of material damage or human losses as a result of the earthquake so far.

Indonesia is regularly exposed to earthquakes due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire where many tectonic plates meet and cause frequent volcanic and seismic activity.
