MANADO (Indonesia): A strong earthquake of magnitude 7.3 shook buildings in the provincial capital in Indonesia's northern Sulawesi island on Sunday and sent residents fleeing from their homes, a Reuters eyewitness said.

''You could feel shaking up and down and to the left and right,'' he said.

''People panicked and ran out of their homes. They are still outside their homes,'' he said about 30 minutes after the quake struck in the Molucca Sea about 165 km to the east of Manado near the northern tip of Sulawesi.

There were no immediate reports of casualties but local television said some buildings were cracked. Manado, a city of some 400,000 people, is 2,200 km northeast of Jakarta.

The US Geological Survey web site put the quake's magnitude at 7.3, while Indonesia's meteorology and geophysics agency gave its strength as 6.5 on the Richter scale and said it could pose a tsunami risk, according to a message from the agency received by Reuters.

The USGS said the quake had occurred at 4.57 pm. It originally reported the magnitude at 7.2.

A massive tsunami triggered by a quake in the Indian Ocean in December 2004 left about 170,000 people killed or missing in Indonesia's Aceh province in Sumatra.
