JAKARTA - A 6.0 magnitude undersea earthquake shook northern parts of Sulawesi island on Thursday, but there was no risk of a tsunami, the country's meteorology agency said.
The quake struck at 4.08 p.m. (0808 GMT) and was centered 180 km (111 miles) southeast of Manado, the capital of North Sulawesi province, said Yuli Fitria, an official at the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency. It was at a depth of 78 km.
"Because of its depth, there's no risk of tsunami," she said, adding that there were no reports of damage or casualties. The US Geological Survey put the quake's magnitude at 5.7
