JAKARTA - A 5.1-magnitude earthquake on Wednesday rocked the Indonesian province of Aceh but there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties, the meteorological office said.
The undersea tremor hit at 7:14 am (0014 GMT) and was centered at a depth of 31 kilometers (19 miles), 84 kilometers west of the provincial capital Banda Aceh, said Agus, an official at the meteorology office in Jakarta.
He added that no immediate reports of damage or casualties had been received.
Indonesia sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire", where the meeting of continental plates causes high volcanic and seismic activity.
A 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck the city of Yogyakarta and its surrounds on the island of Java on May 27 and killed 5,855 people.
Indonesia's Aceh province was the hardest hit by a 9.3-magnitude quake off the coast of Sumatra that triggered tsunamis in December, 2004. The waves killed more than 220,000 people around the Indian Ocean.
