BALI, November 15 (Sputnik) — The warning of a tsunami threat south of Indonesia that was issued on Saturday following two earthquakes with a 7.3-magnitude has been cancelled.
"The height of the tsunami in Manado [the capital of Indonesia's North Sulawesi Province] was 0.03 meters [0.09 feet]," the Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics told Sputnik Saturday.
According to the agency, the epicenters of the two powerful quakes were located at 132 kilometers (82 miles) and 137 kilometers northwest of the Halmahera island in North Maluku Province. The quakes occurred at a depth of 10 and 48 kilometers beneath the Molucca Sea.
The quakes caused a panic in many parts of North Maluku and North Sulawesi provinces, though no casualties have yet been reported.
