The Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Center announced that a new earthquake measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale shook the city of Sulawesi in Indonesia.
The center added that the earthquake occurred on Monday morning at a depth of 12 kilometers, without reports of damage, deaths or injuries as a result of the quake.
Earlier this February, at least 4 people were killed after an earthquake struck the capital of the Indonesian province of Papua, which led to the collapse of buildings and a cafe on the beach.
Also, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake occurred off the Indonesian islands of Tanimbar in Maluku province about two weeks ago.
During the past weeks, earthquakes struck several regions of the world, the strongest of which was the devastating earthquake in southern Turkey and northern Syria, which had a magnitude of 7.7 on the Richter scale, and left more than 50,000 people dead, according to the latest announced figures, including about 6,000 in Syria.
Indonesia witnesses frequent seismic and volcanic activity due to its location on the "Ring of Fire" in the Pacific Ocean, where tectonic plates collide, an area known for volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
