A 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Indonesia's North Sulawesi province on Wednesday, the country's geophysics agency said.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center warned that there was a risk of tsunami waves located within 300 kilometres of the epicentre.
The Indonesian agency said the quake's epicentre was at a depth of 64 kilometres. The quake was also felt in the Maluku Islands.
Indonesia rests atop the "Pacific Ring of Fire," making it one of the most active regions in the world, experiencing frequent earthquakes.
An earthquake also rocked Indonesia in another tragedy on Monday. The earthquake shook part of western Indonesia.
The earthquake was centred 40 kilometres southeast of Singkil, a coastal district in Aceh province at a depth of 37 kilometres, the U.S. Geological Survey added.
