A magnitude 7.7 earthquake hit just north of the Flores region in the eastern part of Indonesia, the United States Geological Survey reported on Friday.

There was no immediate information available from authorities about possible damage from the quake.

The latest quake comes after a 7.4-magnitude earthquake rocked western Colombia on Monday, causing widespread damage.

In June, deadly back-to-back earthquakes, with 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude, killed more than 5,000 people in Venezuela.
