A 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck in the Molucca Sea off Indonesia's Ternate island early Thursday, killing at least one person. The quake, which struck at 06:48 local time (22:48 GMT) at a depth of 35km, sparked initial tsunami warnings, now lifted. A 70-year-old woman in North Sulawesi died after being crushed by building debris, and another person was injured after jumping from a building. Locals reported this earthquake felt among the strongest experienced in years. Following the major quake, at least two aftershocks of 5.5 and 5.2 magnitude were recorded. Damage to buildings and infrastructure has been reported, with footage showing significant destruction, especially at a sports complex in Manado. Many residents described their experience of intense shaking and panic as people fled buildings. Search and rescue efforts are underway as authorities assess the aftermath of this significant seismic event.
