A powerful earthquake shook Indonesia's island of Sumatra on Wednesday, triggering a small tsunami, CNN reported.
The tremor measured 7.9 on the Richter scale and was registered at 1810 local time (1110 GMT) in Bengkulu province in the southern part of the island.
No immediate casualties or serious damage were reported.
The tsunami, measured about two feet high, was recorded in Padang, several hundred miles northeast of the epicentre, which was at a depth of 19 miles.
People in the capital city of Jakarta, which is 605 km southeast of the epicentre, have also felt the quake. Several skyscrapers were rocked and hundreds of employees have been immediately evacuated.
Indonesia, which sits on the Pacific Basin's "Ring of Fire" - an arc of volcanos and fault lines, is prone to seismic upheaval.
In December 2004, a massive earthquake off Sumatra island triggered a tsunami that killed more than 230,000 people, including 160,000 people in Indonesia's province of Aceh.
