JAKARTA, Indonesia—An earthquake shook Indonesia’s easternmost province Monday, but there were no immediate reports of serious damage or casualties.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude 5.4 quake was centered 135 kilometers (83 miles) southwest of Abepura, a subdistrict in Jayapura, the capital of Papua Province. It occurred at a depth of 13 kilometers (8 miles.)
