An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 struck on Friday off the island of Sumbawa in the Indonesian archipelago, 71 km south of Raba city, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), The Sydney Morning Herald reported.

The quake, initially measured as a magnitude 6.4, was quite deep, at 72 km (below the seabed. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre (PTWC) did not immediately issue a tsunami warning and the quake was unlikely to cause one.

Indonesia's Aceh province is still suffering from a strong earthquake that displaced 23,000 people earlier this month.
