An underwater earthquake of magnitude 7.4 collapsed buildings in northern Indonesia this Thursday, 2. The shock killed at least one person and generated a small tsunami.
The epicenter of the tremor was in the Molucca Sea, which recorded waves of up to 75 centimeters above the usual average. A tsunami warning was issued, but was suspended hours later, as there was no risk of destruction.
Dozens of aftershocks followed the main one, including one measuring 6.2. Indonesian authorities are still trying to measure the extent of the damage in the country.
