Indonesia's geological agency has lifted a tsunami alert issued after a powerful earthquake rattled the country's northeast.
The U.S. Geological Survey said Thursday's quake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.6 and struck 55 miles beneath the Molucca Sea.
Indonesia's seismological agency put the magnitude at 7.6.
A tsunami alert issued immediately after the 7 a.m. temblor was lifted because the feared wave never came.
The mayor of Manado, a city on Sulawesi island close to the epicenter, said there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage from the quake.
