(RTTNews) - An earthquake measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale quaked Indonesia's Java Island on Friday, causing buildings to shake in the capital city of Jakarta, according to the country's meteorology department.

Indonesia's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency said that the quake struck in the Sunda Strait, off the western coast of Java island, about 115 miles (180 km) southwest of Jakarta. It added that the quake was not strong enough to generate a tsunami.

There were no immediate reports of causalities or structural damages in the quake, which is the latest among a series of such tremors to hit Indonesia.

Friday's quake follows a 7.6 magnitude earthquake that killed at least 1,117 people and injured hundreds of others in Indonesia's West Sumatra province on 30th September. The Sumatra quake also left an estimated half a million homeless.

Earthquakes are frequent in Indonesian archipelago as it is located on the so-called Pacific "Ring of Fire," where several tectonic plates collide.

A 9.1 magnitude earthquake quake on Dec. 26, 2004 set off a massive tsunami that rolled through the Indian Ocean and killed over 200,000 people in Indonesia and other countries. Since then, Indonesia has been hit by some 29 quakes of 6.3 magnitude or higher.
