Indonesia hit by magnitude 7.3 earthquake, tsunami warning lifted

The tsunami warning, asking local authorities to immediately instruct residents of the affected area to move away from shores, has since been lifted.

The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) earlier pegged the quake at 6.9 magnitude.
