A powerful earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia early on Saturday, triggering an early tsunami warning by the country’s geophysics agency.
The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre recorded a quake of magnitude 7.7 around 4:58 am local time (7.58am AEST) at a depth of 35 kilometres, followed by at least three aftershocks.
Indonesia’s geophysics agency BMKG issued an early tsunami warning for some regions in the country.
Separately, Australia’s tsunami warning centre said the undersea earthquake will have “no tsunami threat to the Australian mainland, islands or territories”.
