A powerful earthquake measuring 6.2 magnitude struck Indonesia on Wednesday morning. International media outlets have reported that there have been no casualties so far.

Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency has confirmed that an earthquake has struck off the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. However, officials said there was no threat of a tsunami. 

The quake was the second-largest in recent memory. Tsunamis are often triggered by earthquakes at sea. Officials said there was no sign of any such impact from this quake. 

Just last week, a 6.6-magnitude earthquake struck the Banda Sea near Indonesia's Maluku Islands at a depth of 137 kilometers.
