A magnitude-5.7 earthquake jolted off Indonesia's eastern Highland Papua province on Friday morning, the country's meteorology, climatology and geophysics agency said.

The tremors occurred at 7:11 a.m. Jakarta time (0011 GMT) at a depth of 78 kilometers beneath the earth's surface, according to the agency.

No tsunami warning was issued, as the quake's tremors were not anticipated to generate large waves.
