Quake strikes Indonesia, no tsunami threat
A 5.8-magnitude earthquake has struck off Indonesia's Sulawesi island but there was no tsunami threat and no immediate reports of damage, the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency said.
The quake, which struck at 3:11pm (6:11pm AEST), was centred about 126 kilometres south-east of Bitung in North-east Sulawesi, an official said.
The tremor, which was 10 kilometres deep, had no tsunami potential, the agency added.
The Indonesian archipelago sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, where continental plates meet and cause frequent seismic and volcanic activity.
