The early-morning tremor in the Molucca Sea between the Sulawesi and Maluku island groups triggered waves up to 75 centimetres (2.5 feet) high . Pics and text/AFP

The earthquake prompted a tsunami warning that was subsequently lifted

One person was killed when a building collapsed in Manado, the region's search and rescue chief George Leo Mercy Randang told AFP

The victim was "buried under the rubble", he said

Agency spokesman Nuriadin Gumeleng later said three people in Manado suffered light injuries

The US Geological Survey (USGS) said the tremor hit at a shallow depth of 35 kilometres (22 miles)
