earthquake shakes eastern Indonesia and southern Philippines; No tsunami

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — A 7.0-magnitude earthquake jolted eastern Indonesia and the southern Philippines on Wednesday, with no immediate damage reported and no tsunami warning issued.

Some residents tried to flee their homes in the Indonesian town of Tupelo in North Maluku province.

The US Geological Survey said the quake occurred 30 miles (30 miles) below sea level, with the epicenter 154 km (94 miles) northwest of Tupelo.

Resident Pius Oyowuton said some people fled their homes when the quake struck. “I felt a little swaying while the lamps swayed as well,” Ohoiwutun said.

The undersea earthquake was felt in several provinces and cities across the southern Philippines, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

The Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency issued no tsunami warning.

Both archipelagic nations lie on the “Ring of Fire,” the arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean basin where most of the world’s earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.

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

A 5.6-magnitude earthquake on November 21 has killed at least 331 people in Indonesia’s West Java province. It was the deadliest earthquake in Indonesia since 2018.

In 2004, a very strong earthquake in the Indian Ocean triggered a tsunami that killed more than 230,000 people in a dozen countries, mostly in the Indonesian province of Aceh.
