Another strong quake hits Indonesia

Seismologists say another strong earthquake has hit Indonesia. Reports of damage or injuries were not immediately available, AP reported.

The U.S. Geological Survey says Saturday's quake - the second strong temblor in two days - had a preliminary magnitude of 7.0. It was located 144 miles (232 kilometers) north-northwest of Indonesia's Tanimbar Islands at a depth of 86 miles (138 kilometers).

Saturday's quake came as Indonesia is still recovering from another earthquake last month island that killed more than 1,000 people on western Sumatra.
