WASHINGTON, Aug 8 (Reuters) - An earthquake that hit Indonesia on Wednesday was at magnitude 7.4 and 282.1 km (175.3 miles) deep, the U.S. Geological Survey said on its Web site.

The quake was too deep to prompt a tsunami warning, said Robert Cessaro at the U.S. National Weather Service's Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

The quake took place at 12:05 a.m. local time on Thursday (1705 GMT on Wednesday). Its epicenter was 112 km (70 miles) from Jakarta.
