An earthquake of 6.2 magnitude on the Richter scale struck Sumatra Island in Indonesia at 10.26 am on Tuesday, March 3, as per the National Centre for Seismology.
No immediate injuries or casualties have been reported so far.
The tremors hit the waters near the island, multiple reports stated. The region frequently witnesses seismic activity because of its position along the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, a location where many tectonic plates converge.
Authorities are reviewing the situation and more details are awaited.
