Tsunami warning for Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia after Maluku Sea quake

An earthquake of magnitude 7.4 struck the Northern Maluku Sea off Indonesia’s historic spice island of Ternate on Thursday, the United States Geological Survey said, triggering a tsunami warning for neighbouring Southeast Asian nations. There were no immediate reports of injuries, though the agency reported aftershocks of magnitude ‌as high as 5, and Indonesia called tsunami warnings for areas in its provinces of North Maluku and North Sulawesi.
