A massive earthquake measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale jolted Indonesia's Maluku province on Wednesday, the country's meteorology agency BMKG said. The quake which was centered at the shallow seabed reportedly occurred at around 11.52 a.m. The location of the epicentre was 251 km northwest of Maluku Tenggara Barat (Tanimbar Islands) district, with a depth of 10 km under the sea floor. The intensity of the quake was felt the strongest at IV to V of the MMI (Modified Mercalli Intensity) scale in Saumlaki town and the Banda Sea, and weaker in other parts of the province. However, the meteorology agency did not issue a tsunami warning as the tremor did not have the potential to trigger giant waves. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damages as more details are awaited.
