Two consecutive earthquakes occurred off the southern coast of Indonesia's Sumba Island on the morning of October 2, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said.

The earthquake and tsunami on Sulawesi island last week caused heavy human and material damage to Indonesia.

A shallow earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale struck at 6:59 a.m. local time about 40 kilometers (25 miles) off Sumba Island, an island with a population of about 750,000.

About 15 minutes later, a second earthquake measuring 6.0 magnitude occurred in the same area at a depth of 30 km.

Sumba is about 1,600 km south of Sulawesi island, which was hit by a double earthquake and tsunami last week that killed more than 800 people.

There are currently no tsunami warnings or reports of casualties or damage from the two latest earthquakes.
