There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, and no tsunami warning was issued by local authorities.

The quake was felt strongest in East Java province, including the greater city of Surabaya.

Julianus Andre, an Agence France-Presse journalist in the city, said, “I was at home when the earthquake occurred. The tremor made us unstable. The water in the sewers (outside) was swaying.”

He added: “My family and I rushed to get out of the house, and our neighbors did as well. The shaking continued for more than a minute while we were outside.”

Indonesia, a vast archipelagic nation, is prone to frequent earthquakes due to its location on the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” an arc of intense seismic activity where tectonic plates that extend from Japan across Southeast Asia and across the Pacific Basin collide.

A 6.2-magnitude earthquake shook the island of Sulawesi in January 2021, killing more than 100 people and displacing thousands.

In 2018, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Palu, Sulawesi, killed more than 2,200 people.

In 2004, a 9.1-magnitude earthquake struck Aceh province, causing a tsunami and killing more than 170,000 people in Indonesia.
