Jakarta, August 29, 2022, SPA -- A 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia's Sumatra island, the third tremor to rattle the area since early Monday, Reuters quoted to the country's geophysics agency as said. Indonesia's meteorology and geophysics agency (BMKG) recorded the shallow quake off the Mentawai islands, off Sumatra's west coast just before 10.30 a.m. and said it did not trigger a tsunami warning. Three consecutive earthquakes struck the area with increasing intensity since the early hours of Monday, with a 5.2-magnitude tremor recorded before dawn, followed by a 5.4-magnitude quake less than an hour later. The 6.4-magnitude earthquake was felt strongly for several seconds by residents in the Mentawai islands, in the provincial capital of Padang, and in the surrounding mountainous area of Bukitinggi, the disaster agency said in a statement. The agency said there were no reports of casualties but there was minor damage to buildings on Siberut island. --SPA 11:14 LOCAL TIME 08:14 GMT 0006 www.spa.gov.sa/w1778346
