Magnitude 7.3 - NEAR THE NORTH COAST OF PAPUA, INDONESIA

The quake feed at source shows 10 quakes in this Indonesian area in the last 24 hours, all over 5.0 magnitude. This week there were about a dozen more in the same area.

Now breaking in some press:

MANOKWARI, Indonesia (AFP) — Two powerful earthquakes rattled Indonesia's West Papua province early Sunday, triggering panic among residents but there were no immediate reports of any casualties or heavy damage.

The first 7.6-magnitude quake struck at 4:43 am (1943 GMT Saturday), about 150 kilometres northwest of the city of Manokwari, the US Geological Survey said, triggering a tsunami alert that was later withdrawn.
