Quake shakes Australian city of Darwin. More here:
DILI - A powerful, deep 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck off the coasts of East Timor and Indonesia on Monday, and was felt as far away as Australia, but authorities said it did not have the potential to cause a tsunami.
The quake struck in the Banda Sea in Indonesia and was felt across northern Australia. In Darwin, around 435 miles away from the epicenter, it hit at lunchtime and office workers sought safety outside. No damage or injuries were reported. The quake, initially recorded at a magnitude of 7.2, was at a depth 220 km , the U.S. Geological Survey said. Due to the quake’s depth there was no tsunami threat, said the Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
The quake was also felt on Indonesia’s holiday island of Bali, several people said on social media. But there were no immediate reports of damage or injury in Indonesia, said Rita Rosita, an official of the national disaster mitigation agency.
