RABA, INDONESIA (BNO NEWS) — A strong earthquake struck Indonesia’s Sumbawa region on Monday morning, according to seismologists.

The earthquake happened around 3.42 a.m. local time, about 5 miles from Raba, a small town in the eastern part of Sumbawa island. The country’s seismological agency reported the earthquake as a 6.7-magnitude, while the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center reported a magnitude of 6.9. Earthquakes of that size are capable of causing serious damage. The earthquake was located about 11 miles deep, making it a shallow earthquake.

Both the country’s seismological agency and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a tsunami warning following the earthquake, but warned of local tsunamis. “A destructive widespread tsunami threat does not exist based on historical earthquake and tsunami data,” a statement from the tsunami warning center read. “However - there is a very small possibility of a local tsunami that could affect coasts located usually no more than a hundred kilometers from the earthquake epicenter. Authorities near the epicenter should be made aware of this possibility.”

There was no immediate word on damage or casualties following the earthquake.

Indonesia is often struck by strong earthquakes as it is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A 7.6-magnitude earthquake near Indonesia’s Sumatra killed more than 1,100 people on September 30.
