The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre earlier pegged the quake at 6.9-magnitude. The quake, at a depth of 84km, hit at about 3am local time. Aftershocks were detected, with one registering magnitude-5, the local agency said. Indonesia's disaster mitigation agency said authorities were collecting data from the islands nearest the epicentre off the western shore of Sumatra, spokesman Abdul Muhari said. In Padang, the capital of West Sumatra, the quake was felt strongly, and some people moved away from the beaches, said Mr Muhari, who was in Padang. "People left their homes," he said. "Some were panicking but under control. Currently some of them are evacuating away from the sea." Mr Muhari said he had seen no damage so far. Local news footage showed some Padang residents leaving by motorbike and foot to higher ground. Some carried backpacks while others huddled together under an umbrella against the rain. "On the Siberut island, people had already been evacuated," local official Noviandri told TvOne. "They have been told to stay at the evacuation area until tsunami warning is lifted."

Indonesia issued a tsunami warning for almost three hours after a powerful 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck off Indonesia's Tanimbar islands on Tuesday, but no significant changes in sea level were recorded and the warning was lifted. At least four aftershocks were reported after the quake that was also felt in some parts of northern Australia, with initial reports by Indonesia's disaster agency indicating mainly light to medium damage to buildings, officials said. New Zealand's National Emergency Management Agency has confirmed there is currently no tsunami risk to New Zealand from the quake. The quake, locally measured as magnitude 7.5, struck at a depth of 130 km (80.78 miles) at 2:47am (local time), the country's geophysics agency BMKG said. The tsunami warning was lifted at 5:43am. "Based on our observation of four tide gauges around the earthquake's epicentre... there was no anomaly detected or no significant changes of sea level," BMKG head Dwikorita Karnawati told a news conference, advising people who lived near the coast to continue with their activities. The European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) recorded the magnitude of the quake as 7.6, after initially reporting it as 7.7. The U.S. Geological Survey also pegged it as a 7.6 magnitude. There were four aftershocks with the strongest recorded at 5.5 magnitude, BMKG said. Indonesia's disaster agency officials were still checking for the full extent of the quake's impact.

Indonesia's eastern province of Maluku was struck by an earthquake on Sunday morning, measuring a magnitude of 6.0. Media reports citing country's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency said that the epicentre of the quake was situated 154 kilometres northwest of the Kepulauan Tanimbar district, with a depth of 153 kilometres. Indonesia, located in the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire where tectonic plates converge, frequently witnesses earthquakes. However, no reports of material damages have been received thus far, according to reports. 7.3 quake inSumatra Island In April, the earthquake-prone Sumatra Island in Indonesia was struck by a devastating earthquake of 7.3 magnitude. The tremor prompted a tsunami warning from the country's geophysics agency. Subsequent aftershocks were recorded, some measuring around 4 on the Richter scale. The epicentre of the earthquake was identified off the western coast of Sumatra. Local authorities swiftly issued a tsunami warning, urging residents in affected areas to evacuate from the shore. However, hours later, the warning was lifted. Pacific Ring of Fire The Pacific Ring of Fire is a major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. It is a horseshoe-shaped region that stretches for approximately 40,000 kilometres (25,000 miles) and encompasses the coasts of several countries, including the western coast of North and South America, the eastern coast of Asia...
