A search and rescue operation was underway by rescuers and military officers at collapsed buildings after a magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck Indonesia's Northern Molucca Sea on Thursday (April 2), killing one person.

Deitje Leiha, 70, was killed by falling rubble in the Manado area when part of a building used by the local sport authority collapsed, according to a Search and Rescue Agency spokesperson.

Indonesia's meteorology agency BMKG said there were tsunami waves reported in five locations, the highest at 0.75 m (2.46 ft) in North Minahasa in North Sulawesi and about 50 aftershocks were monitored, the largest at a magnitude of 5.8.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center warned of the risk of waves less than 0.3 m (1 ft) over tide levels for the coasts of Guam, Japan, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and Taiwan.
