7.0-magnitude earthquake strikes eastern Indonesia, no tsunami warning | world News

A strong earthquake rocked eastern Indonesia on Wednesday, no damage was immediately reported and no tsunami warning was issued.

Some residents tried to flee their homes after the 7.2-magnitude earthquake.

The USGS said it occurred 60 kilometers (37.2 miles) below sea level, and mid-150 kilometers (93.2 miles) northwest of Tupelo in North Maluku Province.

The Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency issued no tsunami warning. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Honolulu briefly said there was a potential threat to nearby Indonesian coasts, but lifted the notice shortly thereafter.

Some people were fleeing their homes when the quake shook, said Pius O’Huyoton, a resident of Tupelo.

A 6.1-magnitude earthquake rocked eastern Indonesia earlier Wednesday morning. There were no reports of damage.

Indonesia, a vast archipelago and home to more than 270 million people, is frequently hit by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to its location on the “Ring of Fire,” an arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Basin.
