Indonesia lifted tsunami warning after a 7.0 magnitude quake hit Bengkulu province of Sumatra Island on Thursday morning and there is no report of damages and casualty, the Meteorology and Geophysiscs Agency and Disaster Management Agency said.

"Tsunami waning is lifted," said the meteorology agency in a text message.

An official of the Disaster Management Agency Chairulyusuf said that he had contacted military at the province and there was no report of casualty or damages. "We have contacted the military command at North Bengkulu regency and the capital of Bengkulu province. There is no damages or casualty so far," he told Xinhua.

The quake epicenter was at 166 kilometers southwest Lais town of Bengkulu province near the North Bengkulu regency and at 10 kilometers under sea bed, an official of the Meteorology and Geophysiscs Agency said.

"The strong shakes of the quake was felt very strong by the people in the province," said Chairulyusuf.

He said that until now, more than a half hour tsunami warning was imposed, tsunami still did not occur.

The quake struck at 04:02 Jakarta time (2102 GMT), the Meteorology agency said.

The quake intensity was felt at 3 to 4 MMI (modified mercally intensity) scale. Twenty-three people were killed and thousands of buildings were destructed last month after a 7.9 ricther scale quake, that was potential for tsunami, rocked the province.

In 2004, over 170,000 people were dead in Aceh province in northern tip of the island after a tsunami triggered by a powerful quake devastated coastal areas of the province and others countries in Southeast Asia.

Indonesia is laid at a vulnerable zone so called "the Pacific Ring of Fire" where two continental plates, stretching from the Western Hemisphere through Japan and Southeast Asia, meet that cause frequent volcanic movements.
