JAKARTA, Indonesia — April 1, 2026 A powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia’s Sulawesi island late Tuesday, prompting a brief tsunami warning that was later lifted. The quake occurred at a depth of 35 kilometers, with its epicenter located between northern Sulawesi and the North Moluccas, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The tremor was felt across the region, including in the city of Ternate. Indonesian authorities initially issued a tsunami alert but rescinded it after no significant waves were detected. No immediate reports of casualties or major damage were available. The earthquake is the latest in a series of seismic events to hit Indonesia, which sits along the Pacific Ring of Fire, a hotspot for tectonic activity. The USGS and local agencies continue to monitor the situation for potential aftershocks.
