A 6.2-magnitude earthquake hit off the coast of Indonesia’s North Maluku on Wednesday, according to the country’s geophysics agency.

In a statement on social media platform X, the agency reported that the quake occurred at a depth of 81 km (50 miles) and posed no tsunami threat.

There have been no immediate reports of damage, and Indonesia’s disaster mitigation agency has yet to issue a statement on the incident.

Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, a geologically active region where multiple tectonic plates meet, making it prone to frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
