JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - A strong undersea earthquake rocked parts of Indonesia's Sumatra island Thursday, but there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
The 6.7-magnitude quake that struck at 3:31 p.m. (4:31 a.m. EDT) was centered 47 miles under the earth's surface, about 79 miles southwest of Painan, a town in West Sumatra province.
Yusuf, an official at the Jakarta office of Indonesia's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency, said the temblor was felt in cities along the west coast of Sumatra, but added there was no indication it would trigger a tsunami.
