The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake measured magnitude 6.7 and was centered 108 kilometers (67 miles) north of Dobo in Maluku province, at a depth of 24 kilometers (15 miles). It was followed by two aftershocks both measuring magnitude 4.9.

Indonesia's meteorology and geophysics agency put the preliminary magnitude at 7.0 and said there was no tsunami.

A district government office in Dobo, the closest village to the epicenter, sustained some damage but the extent was unclear, said agency official Subagyo, who like many Indonesians uses only one name.

Dobo resident Victor Siahaya said the strong earthquake shook everything in his house, forcing he and his family to run outside.
