In addition, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii did not offer any tsunami warnings.

The US Geological Survey has measured the preliminary magnitude of an earthquake of 5.7 on the Richter scale.

In the statement of the Indonesian Meteorological and Geological Agency, people in the cities of the neighboring islands of Lombok and Java can also feel the shaking.

Indonesia suffers frequent earthquakes and sometimes tsunamis due to its location on the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' , where tectonic plates collide.

Last year, a magnitude 7.5 earthquake and a subsequent tsunami in Palu on Sulawesi killed more than 2,200 people and left thousands of people declared missing.

On December 26, 2004, a 9.1-magnitude strong earthquake struck Aceh province that caused a tsunami and killed over 170,000 people in Indonesia.
