Seram Island: An earthquake measuring 5.3 magnitude on the Richter scale struck Seram Island in Indonesia on Wednesday.

According to Qatar News Agency, the Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG) stated that the quake originated at a depth of 58 kilometers. The agency ruled out any tsunami risk.

Seram Island, located in Indonesia’s Maluku province, lies within one of the most seismically active zones on Earth-the Pacific Ring of Fire. The latest quake follows a series of recent seismic events in the area, including a magnitude 6.0 tremor in March and a 5.5-magnitude earthquake in April.

Indonesia is one of the most earthquake- and volcano-prone nations in the world. An estimated 13% of the world’s active volcanoes are located in the country, with more than 1.2 million people living in high-risk zones, particularly across Sumatra, Java, Bali, and Maluku.
