JAKARTA, Indonesia -- A powerful, shallow earthquake hit off the southwestern coast of Sumatra in Indonesia on Wednesday and could trigger a tsunami, officials said. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The U.S. Geological
Service said the earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 7.8. It was centred under the ocean at a depth of 24 kilometres, it said.
Shallow earthquakes are more likely to cause damage, but the
USGS said the quake was located far from land, about 659 kilometres from the town of Muara
Siberut.
Indonesian officials warned that the quake might trigger a tsunami.
Marjina, a resident of
Sikakap in the
Mentawai islands, about 690 kilometres from the epicenter, said the quake was felt only weakly there, but the tsunami warning caused panic among villagers, who ran to higher ground.
Australia's Bureau of Meteorology issued a marine warning for the distant
Cocos and
Christmas islands. It did not advise evacuations, but said strong and dangerous currents were possible and people should secure boats and avoid waterfront areas.
The Joint Australian Tsunami Warning
Center later issued but then cancelled a tsunami watch for
Western Australia.
Indonesia, the world's largest archipelago, is prone to seismic upheaval because of its location on the
Pacific "Ring of Fire," an arc of volcanoes and fault lines circling the
Pacific Basin.
A massive magnitude-9.1 quake off Indonesia in 2004 triggered a tsunami that killed 230,
000 people in a dozen countries. Most of the deaths were in
Aceh province.
