Indonesian disaster agency says no major damage has been reported yet from a 6.9 magnitude earthquake at sea, but communications were lost in one province and a hospital damaged in another.
JAKARTA, Indonesia — A strong subsea earthquake late Sunday night caused panic in parts of eastern Indonesia and triggered a tsunami warning that was later lifted. There were no immediate reports of major damage or casualties.
The national disaster agency said the tsunami warning issued for North Sulawesi and North Maluku was canceled just after midnight, about two hours after the quake hit. A hospital in Manado, the capital of North Sulawesi province, was damaged and patients evacuated, according to a local disaster official.
