A powerful earthquake rocked eastern Indonesia, sending people fleeing into the streets from swaying homes, offices and hospitals.

There were no immediate reports of damage.

The quake, which had a preliminary magnitude of 7.0, triggered a tsunami warning, but the alert was quickly lifted after it became clear no destructive waves had been generated, the country's geophysics agency said.
