An earthquake of magnitude 6.7 has struck off the coast of Indonesia's Tanimbar Islands region, but there are no tsunami warnings.
The quake hit at a depth of 98 km, the country's geophysics agency said.
The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported that the quake was of 6.8 magnitude and at a depth of 10 km.
Tremors were felt in several small towns in eastern Indonesia, the agency said.
There was no immediate reports of damage, said Indonesia's disaster mitigation agency.
Indonesia straddles the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, a highly seismically active zone which includes New Zealand, where different plates on the Earth's crust meet and create a large number of earthquakes and volcanic activity.
