A 6.1-magnitude earthquake has struck off Indonesia's main island of Java, the US Geological Survey reports, but local officials say there is no risk of a tsunami.
The quake struck at 12:14pm (1614 AEDT) on Saturday, 39 kilometres south-southeast of the coastal town of Adipala in Central Java province at a depth of 83 kilometres, the USGS said.
"There's no potential for a tsunami and we haven't received any reports of damage or casualties so far," said meteorology, climatology and geophysics agency technical chief Suharjono, who goes by one name.
Indonesia sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire", where tectonic plates collide, causing frequent seismic and volcanic activity.
A 6.1-magnitude quake that struck Aceh province on Sumatra island in July 2013 killed at least 35 people and left thousands homeless.
