The Indonesian geophysical institute BMKG put the quake's magnitude at 6.1.
There is no tsunami threat.
Indonesia is located in a seismically active zone known as the Ring of Fire and regularly suffers from powerful earthquakes.
Hundreds of thousands of people died in 2004 when a 9.2 magnitude earthquake hit Sumatra's Aceh region, triggering a tsunami that hit numerous countries bordering the Indian Ocean.
