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.
