(CNN) -- A strong earthquake shook a group of islands in Indonesia Wednesday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
Seismologists said the earthquake was of 6.2 magnitude.
The quake was recorded in Kepulauan Barat Daya, a group of islands in the Maluku province of Indonesia. The islands are located about 262 km (163 miles) from the East Timorese capital of Dili.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damages.
Dailin Wang, an oceanographer for the National Weather Service's Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, said the earthquake happened deep in the sea.
The center has not issued a tsunami warning.
"We do not expect a tsunami from this event," he said
