Quake hits off of Maluku
Antara , Jakarta | Tue, 09/16/2008 10:11 AM | National
A 5.8-magnitude earthquake reportedly struck off of the Maluku province on Tuesday.
The quake was registered at 148 kilometers northwest of Ambon at a depth of 35 kilometres in Maluku province, the Indonesian meteorology and geophysics agency was quoted by Antara as saying.
"There are no reports of damage so far," said agency geologist Bagio, adding that no tsunami warning had been issued.
Indonesia was the nation worst hit by the earthquake-triggered Asian tsunami in December 2004, which killed 168,000 people in the country's Aceh province.
The Indonesian archipelago sits on the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, where continental plates meet causing regular seismic and volcanic activity.
