JAKARTA鈥擜 5.3-magnitude earthquake rattled the northern tip of Indonesia Monday, geologists said, but there were no immediate reports of damage.
The quake struck at a shallow depth of one kilometer (just over half a mile) around 160 kms (100 miles) southeast of Banda Aceh on Indonesia鈥檚 Sumatra island at 2:09 am (1809 GMT Sunday), the US Geological Survey said.
