Tsunami warning after Indonesia quake

A 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck Indonesia’s Sulawesi island today, the US geological survey said.

Indonesian officials said it had the potential to trigger a tsunami. One governor on the island ordered a coastal evacuation, but it was unclear whether the message had got through to residents.

The quake struck at 9.22am Irish time 67 miles south of Gorontalo in northern Sulawesi, according to the survey.

It was felt across parts of Sulawasi, but there were no reports of damage or injuries.
