Xinhua quoted the Indonesian Meteorological and Geophysical Agency as saying: "The earthquake, which occurred 69 km southeast of Bun Bolango in Gorontalo Province, was detected at a depth of 138 km under the sea floor."

No warning was issued of the possibility of a tsunami.

Indonesia is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic plates meet, and their friction leads to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
