A powerful earthquake has been detected off the coast of western Indonesia Wednesday. The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude seven-point-six quake struck off the western coast of Sumatra island. The agency says the tremor was centered about 319 kilometers west of the town of Medan.
The earthquake prompted authorities to issue a tsunami warning, but no immediate reports of damages or injuries have been reported.
