An earthquake measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale struck the western coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra, without causing a tsunami.
A statement from the Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency said on Tuesday that the epicentre of the earthquake occurred 63 km from the Seluma area of the island, at a depth of 13 km.
So far, there have been no reports of material or human losses due to the earthquake.
Indonesia is regularly exposed to earthquakes, as it is located on the Pacific belt known as the "Ring of Fire", where many tectonic plates meet and cause frequent volcanic and seismic activity.
In 2004, a 9.1-magnitude earthquake struck the coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra, causing a tsunami that killed 220,000 people.
