PETALING JAYA: Malaysians took to social media to share their experiences following the earthquake in Indonesia, with some saying they felt tremors and vibrations in Peninsular Malaysia.
JAKARTA (Reuters) -A magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck west of Indonesia's Sumatra Island on Tuesday, Indonesia's geophysics agency (BMKG) said, triggering a tsunami warning for around two hours. The tsunami warning, asking local authorities to immediately instruct residents of the affected area to move away from shores, has since been lifted. The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) earlier pegged the quake at 6.9 magnitude.
