Desi, a teacher in Miangas Island, near the quake’s epicentre, said the tremors were mild and that as of around 10:00 local time (03:00 GMT), no tsunami had occurred.

She is now back to teaching her class.

Meanwhile, a resident in Manado, North Sulawesi, said the quake was felt there, and car horns could be heard blaring on the streets.
