JAKARTA (AGENCIES)
A 5.3-magnitude earthquake struck Indonesia’s eastern Papua province on Sunday, the country’s meteorology and geophysics agency said.
The quake’s epicentre was located about 100 kilometres from the city of Sarmi, at a depth of 20 kilometres, the agency reported.
Indonesia straddles the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, a highly seismically active zone, where different plates on the Earth's crust meet and create a large number of earthquakes and volcanic activity.
