No damage and no tsunami threat from offshore Indonesia quake

A magnitude 6.5 earthquake that struck off the coast of Indonesia's Tanimbar Islands on Saturday caused no damage and created no threat of a tsunami, Indonesian authorities said.

"The quake was felt faintly for around two to three seconds," Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman for Indonesia's Disaster Mitigation Agency, said. "There was no panic in Tiakur and Saumlaki, areas close to the epicenter."

Conditions were "safe" near the epicenter and there were no victims or property damage, Nugroho said.
