Deep 6.3-magnitude quake strikes eastern Indonesia 38 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseA deep 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck in eastern Indonesia Saturday night, US seismologists said, but no tsunami warning was issued. The national disaster agency said the quake was felt weakly in Tiakur for about three to five seconds. “People immediately started running while screaming ‘Quake!’ and informing one another by hitting the electricity pole as a quake warning sign,” Dili resident Dion Chatulessy told AFP. Last September, a 7.5-magnitude quake and a subsequent tsunami in Palu on Sulawesi island killed more than 2,200 with a thousand more declared missing.
