No information on casualties or destruction had been received so far, the report said.
Indonesia is located in the so-called Ring of Fire quake zone where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. Hundreds of thousands died in 2004 when a record quake hit the Aceh region, triggering a tsunami.
The deadliest one occurred in late 2016, when at least 97 residents of the Indonesian island of Sumatra died as a result of a 6.5-magnitude quake in Aceh province. (Sputniknews)
