An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.1 jolted Halmahera, Indonesia at 1251 GMT on Monday, the GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences said.

Indonesia, a vast archipelago nation, experiences frequent earthquakes due to its position on the Pacific"Ring of Fire", an arc of intense seismic activity where tectonic plates collide that stretches from Japan through Southeast Asia and across the Pacific basin. In 2018, a 7.5-magnitude quake and subsequent tsunami in Palu on Sulawesi killed more than 2,200 people.
In November last year, a 5.6-magnitude quake hit the South-East Asian nation's Java island, killing 602 people.
