SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Moderate earthquakes hit off the coasts of Indonesia and neighboring Papua New Guinea on Sunday, officials said. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damages.
A magnitude-5.8 quake struck about 70 miles east of Papua New Guinea's island of New Britain and was centered 53 miles below the seabed. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center at Ewa Beach, Hawaii, did not issue a tsunami warning for the quake.
Earlier Sunday, a 5.7-magnitude quake hit about 90 miles southwest of the Indonesian capital Jakarta, some 55 miles beneath the Sunda Strait, the U.S. Geological Survey said on its Web site.
