The 7.4 magnitude earthquake was centred in the Molucca Sea at a depth of 35 km, the US Geological Survey said.
Tsunami waves were recorded at several monitoring stations less than half-an-hour later, including in Bitung with a height of 8 inches and in West Halmahera with a height of a foot, according to Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Honolulu said waves of 2 inches were recorded in Davao in the southern Philippines, but there was no threat for more distant areas about three hours after the quake.

She accused the poll body of acting at the BJP's behest, alleging development work in the state has stalled.
"The EC has doomed Bengal at the behest of the BJP; development work has stopped in the state," Banerjee, who has

The total indirect tax collection, which includes customs, excise and GST, as per Revised Estimates (RE) was pegged at over Rs 15.52 lakh crore for FY26. This includes Rs 2.58 lakh crore from customs duty, Rs 3.38 lakh crore from excise duty, and Rs 9.58 lakh crore from Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST).
Without giving actual figures, the official said that revenues from customs duty came in at 102 per cent of RE, while in case of excise duty it was 101 per cent of RE. The Central GST collection came in at 100.8 per cent of RE for FY26.
