One person died during a heavy earthquake measured at 7.4 in Indonesia.

The quake struck the Molucca Sea off Indonesia’s Ternate island on Thursday, at around 06:48 local time. 

It was the tremor that was 35km deep, which killed a 70 year old woman in North Sulawesi. 

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center warned of aftershocks in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea, but this soon passed.
