Magnitude 6.7 earthquake strikes near Indonesia
A large earthquake in the Banda Sea has sent shockwaves as far as Darwin and left locals rattled. The magnitude 6.7 earthquake happened near the Tanimbar Islands region of Indonesia at 3.19pm on Monday. Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki, on the island of Flores, erupted twice in two months on June 17 and again on July 7. Both eruptions caused dozens of international flights to be delayed or cancelled after plumes of ash shot as high as 17km into the sky.

Magnitude 6.7 earthquake strikes Indonesia's Tanimbar Islands region, geophysics agency says
July 14 (Reuters) - An earthquake of magnitude 6.7 struck off the coast of Indonesia's Tanimbar Islands region on Monday, the country's geophysics agency said, adding there was no tsunami potential. The quake was at a depth of 98 km (60.89 miles), the agency said. The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported that the quake was of 6.8 magnitude and at a depth of 10 km (6.21 miles). Tremors were felt in several small towns in eastern Indonesia, the agency said. There was no immediate reports of damage, said Indonesia's disaster mitigation agency. Indonesia straddles the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, a highly seismically active zone, where different plates on the Earth's crust meet and create a large number of earthquakes and volcanic activity.
