There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude-5.7 quake that struck Saturday evening was centered 202 km east of East Timor's capital, Dili, at a depth of 35 km.
Witnesses in Dili say residents ran out of their houses in panic, with many staying outside in fear of aftershocks.
