AFP news agency (France) quoted the notice of the US Geological Survey (USGS) saying an earthquake of magnitude 6.8 rocked Indonesia's Banda Sea on May 6, but there were no tsunami alert.
According to USGS, the earthquake occurred at about 22:50 local time (approximately 20:50 Vietnam time) with a epicenter at a depth of 107km on the Banda Sea between Indonesia's Maluku Islands and Timor Leste.
Meanwhile, Reuters (UK) quoted the Europe-Mediterranean Seismic Center (EMSC) said the earthquake was magnitude 6.9 with the epicenter at a depth of 117km.
Indonesia has a geographic location on the Pacific "Ring of Fire" - an area of uncertainty about seismic activity, so the Southeast Asian nation frequently experiences earthquakes and volcanoes eruptions./.
