Quake causes panic in Indonesia
BBC

A powerful offshore earthquake has struck Indonesia's eastern Sulawesi region, sparking panic in seaside communities.

The tremor was of magnitude 6.5, the US Geological Survey said - compared with 9.0 for the earthquake which triggered the Indian Ocean tsunami.

No injuries have been reported, but officials say sea levels rose by up to four metres (13ft).

Sulawesi was untouched by the devastating tsunami on 26 December.
