6.1-magnitude earthquake shook Seram city in Indonesia, authorities and geological monitoring centers reported on Thursday.

According to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the earthquake’s epicenter was located at a depth of 131.6 kilometers, underlining the significant subterranean activity in the region.

While local authorities are still assessing the full impact of the quake, there have been no immediate reports of casualties or structural damage. Emergency teams have been placed on alert to monitor potential aftershocks and provide support if necessary.

Indonesia, situated on the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” experiences frequent seismic activity. Experts note that earthquakes of this magnitude, particularly at such depths, may be felt across a wide area, but often produce limited surface damage.

Local and national authorities continue to evaluate the situation and are ready to mobilize resources for any communities affected by the tremor. (ILKHA)
