A powerful earthquake hit off the coast of western Indonesia early today, prompting officials to briefly issue a tsunami warning.
Panicked residents ran from their homes, some fleeing to high ground by car or motorcycle, but there were no reports of injuries or serious damage.
The US Geological Survey said the magnitude-7.3 quake struck 420 kilometers off the coast of Aceh province just after midnight.
