    A powerful magnitude-7.4 earthquake has struck in the Molucca Sea region north-east of Indonesia, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS).

    The USGS reported aftershocks as high as magnitude 5, and Indonesia's meteorology agency reported tsunami waves in West Halmahera at 0.3m high and Bitung at 0.2m ‌high.

    The quake, which hit early today, had a depth of 35 kilometres and its epicentre was 127km west-north-west of Ternate, Indonesia, the USGS said.

    The US tsunami warning system said tsunami waves were possible in neighbouring countries. 

    One killed and buildings damaged as magnitude 7.4 earthquake strikes Indonesia

    Quake with epicentre west-north-west of Ternate island shakes cities and prompts regional tsunami warning

    One person has been killed after a 7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck off Indonesia’s Ternate island, damaging buildings and triggering small tsunami waves.

    The quake, which had a depth of 35km, occurred on Thursday at 6.48am local time, according to the United States Geological Survey. Its epicentre was 127km (79 miles) west-north-west of Ternate, an island in Indonesia’s North Maluku province.

    The US tsunami warning system initially warned of the risk of hazardous tsunami waves within 1,000km of the epicentre, including along the coasts of Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaysia, saying waves reaching 0.3 metres to 1 metre (3.2 feet) above the tide level were possible for some of the Indonesian coastline.

    A strong preliminary magnitude 7.6 earthquake has struck near Tonga in the South Pacific Ocean, prompting coastal evacuations but no wider tsunami warnings.

    The United States Geological Survey said the quake struck on Tuesday at a depth of 237km.

    Earthquakes at shallower depths are felt more strongly at the surface.

    The jolt was centred at sea, 153km west of Neiafu, the second-largest town in the island nation.

    Map: 7.5-Magnitude Earthquake Shakes the South Pacific Ocean

    A major, 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck in the South Pacific Ocean on Tuesday, according to the United States Geological Survey.

    The temblor happened at 12:37 a.m. Eastern about 103 miles west of Neiafu, Tonga, data from the agency shows.

    U.S.G.S. data earlier reported that the magnitude was 7.6.

    As seismologists review available data, they may revise the earthquake’s reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.

    An aftershock is usually a smaller earthquake that follows a larger one in the same general area. Aftershocks are typically minor adjustments along the portion of a fault that slipped at the time of the initial earthquake.

    Dozens injured after magnitude 7.5 quake strikes northern Japan

    At least 30 people were injured after a magnitude 7.5 earthquake hit north-eastern Japan on Monday night, forcing thousands of people to evacuate their homes.

    The quake occurred at 23:15 (14:15 GMT) at a depth of 50km (31mi), about 80km off the coast of the Aomori region, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. It prompted tsunami warnings which have now been lifted, while waves of 70cm (27in) were seen.

    Some train services have been suspended and thousands of homes have been left without power as a result.

    Authorities have also warned that a stronger tremor could occur in the coming days – urging the public to remain on high alert for at least a week, according to local media reports.

    Japan tells residents to evacuate as powerful earthquake strikes north-east

    90,000 people advised to take shelter after 7.5-magnitude quake, with 20 injuries reported

    A powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake has shaken north-eastern Japan, injuring more than 20 people and triggering a tsunami of up to 70cm in Pacific coast communities.

    The earthquake and tsunami warnings prompted orders for about 90,000 residents to evacuate their homes, although the warnings were later downgraded to advisories.

    Tsunami warnings were issued for the prefectures of Hokkaido, Aomori and Iwate, and tsunamis from 20 to 70cm (7 to 27in) high were observed at several ports, the Japan Meteorological Society said.

    A tsunami of 70cm was measured in Kuji port in Iwate, just south of Aomori, and tsunami levels of up to 50cm struck other coastal communities in the region, they added.
