Another strong earthquake has hit Indonesia, this time off the northern tip of Sulawesi island.
The Indonesian authorities issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas.
The quake struck at 5.48pm (9.48am Irish time) about 290km northeast of Bitung, a major port in north Sulawesi, at a depth of 30km.
It was recorded as between 5.4 and 5.6 on the Richter scale.
The area is roughly 2,700km east of the epicentre yesterday's massive earthquake near Sumatra island which killed at least 10 people.
Many others are believed to be still buried under collapsed buildings.
The island has been hit by repeated aftershocks.
Tsunami warnings were repeatedly issued and lifted for Indian Ocean countries after the magnitude 8.4 earthquake - the biggest anywhere in the world this year - was followed over the next 18 hours by 22 tremors ranging in intensity from 4.9 to 7.8 on the Richter scale.
At least one village on the west coast of Indonesia's Sumatra appeared to have been damaged by a tsunami.
Many of the wooden houses in Serangai appeared to have been damaged by the sea with debris strewn across the streets.
The initial quake was felt across the Malaysian peninsula and Indonesian archipelago, cutting communication lines and sparking fears of widespread devastation.
Several high-rise towers in Kuala Lumpur, capital of Malaysia, were evacuated early today after being rattled by the aftershocks.
The tremors peaked with an early morning 7.8-magnitude shock that triggered dozens of panicky calls to fire and rescue services in Kuala Lumpur.
The workers and residents returned to their premises 45 minutes later.
The rumbling was not felt at the Petronas Twin Towers, Malaysia's tallest building and once the tallest in the world.
