Tsunami warning after a 7.3-magnitude earthquake hit Indonesia.

A “severe” earthquake has hit Indonesia, prompting experts to issue a tsunami warning.

A 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck an Indonesian island earlier today.

The natural disaster struck 71 miles north of Maumere at 3.20 a.m. GMT.

The waves are likely to reach coasts “within 1,000 kilometers from the epicenter of the earthquake in Indonesia,” according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, based in the United States.

Momiri is the most populous city on the northwest coast of the island of Flores.

While initial reports indicated the earthquake had a magnitude of 7.7, the US Geological Survey had revised it to a magnitude of 7.3.

On the other hand, earthquakes of this size are considered “large” and capable of causing “serious damage”.

Malacca, East Nusa Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara, Southeast and South Sulawesi have received tsunami warnings.

Abdel-Mahari, spokesman for the National Agency for Disaster Mitigation, warned residents who felt the quake.

“There is no information available on the damage yet,” he said.

“However, the information is collected by the rapid response team.”

No damage was reported, according to Anton Hayton, president of the Flores Timor region.

Since then, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii has raised the regional tsunami threat.

“We asked people in coastal areas to stay away from shore lines, particularly on the north side…because of a major tsunami there in 1972,” Hayton said.

Distressed residents appear to be fleeing the area in a video circulated on social media purporting to have been shot in Indonesia.

On the other hand, natural disasters are known to hit Indonesia.

The country of 270 million people lies on the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” which places it on the Pacific fault lines and arc volcanoes.

A 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck West Sulawesi province in January, killing at least 105 people and injuring nearly 6,500 others.
