A magnitude 7.0 earthquake shook eastern Indonesia and southern Philippines on Wednesday, with no damage immediately reported and no tsunami warning issued.
Some residents tried to escape from houses in the Indonesian town of Tobelo in North Maluku province.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake occurred 48 kilometers (30 miles) deep under the sea, centered 154 kilometers (94 miles) northwest of Tobelo.
Resident Pius Ohoiwutun said some people ran from houses when the quake shook. “I felt a little swaying as the lamps also swayed,” Ohoiwutun said.
The undersea quake was also felt in several provinces and cities across the southern Philippines, but there was no immediate reports of injuries or damage
No tsunami warning was issued by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency.
Both archipelago nations lie on the “Ring of Fire,” the arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Basin where most of the world’s earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
A magnitude 6.1 quake also shook eastern Indonesia earlier Wednesday morning. No damage was reported.
A magnitude 5.6 earthquake on Nov. 21 killed at least 331 people in Indonesia’s West Java province. It was the deadliest quake in Indonesia since 2018.
In 2004, an extremely powerful Indian Ocean quake set off a tsunami that killed more than 230,000 people in a dozen countries, most of them in Indonesia’s Aceh province.
Niyanig ng magnitude 7.0 na lindol ang silangang Indonesia at katimugang Pilipinas noong Miyerkules, na walang agad na naiulat na pinsala at walang tsunami warning na inilabas.
Sinubukan ng ilang residente na tumakas mula sa mga bahay sa bayan ng Tobelo sa Indonesia sa lalawigan ng North Maluku.
Sinabi ng U.S. Geological Survey na naganap ang lindol sa layong 48 kilometro (30 milya) sa ilalim ng dagat, na nakasentro sa 154 kilometro (94 milya) hilagang-kanluran ng Tobelo.
Sinabi ng residenteng si Pius Ohoiwutun na ilang tao ang nagtakbuhan mula sa mga bahay nang yumanig ang lindol. "Nakaramdam ako ng kaunting pag-indayog habang ang mga lampara ay umindayog din," sabi ni Ohoiwutun.
Naramdaman din ang lindol sa ilalim ng dagat sa ilang mga lalawigan at lungsod sa buong katimugang Pilipinas, ngunit walang agarang ulat ng mga pinsala o pinsala.
Walang babala sa tsunami ang inilabas ng Meteorology, Climatology at Geophysics Agency ng Indonesia.
Parehong archipelago na bansa ay nasa "Ring of Fire," ang arko ng mga seismic fault sa paligid ng Pacific Basin kung saan nangyayari ang karamihan sa mga lindol at pagsabog ng bulkan sa mundo.
Niyanig din ng magnitude 6.1 na lindol ang silangang Indonesia kaninang Miyerkules ng umaga. Walang naiulat na pinsala.
Isang magnitude 5.6 na lindol noong Nob. 21 ang pumatay ng hindi bababa sa 331 katao sa lalawigan ng West Java sa Indonesia. Ito ang pinakanakamamatay na lindol sa Indonesia mula noong 2018.
Noong 2004, isang napakalakas na lindol sa Indian Ocean ang nagdulot ng tsunami na
