Indonesia issued a tsunami warning after an earthquake struck southeast of Melonguane in North Sulawesi, a telephone text message from the country’s meteorology agency said on Thursday.
The U.S. Geographical Survey said the 7.5 magnitude quake had struck in the Talaud Islands of Indonesia, 323.5 km (201 miles) south-southeast of General Santos, on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines.
The U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said no destructive widespread tsunami threat existed. But the agency added that eathquakes of this size sometimes generate local tsunamis that could be destructive along coasts located within 100 km of the quake epicenter.
