Indonesia is struck by three powerful earthquakes
At least three people have been killed after a series of powerful earthquakes in Indonesia, officials say.
The Indonesian earthquake agency said the largest quake, off the coast of Papua in eastern Indonesia, had a magnitude of 7.1.
There have been reports of collapsed homes in some areas. Papua is one of Indonesia's most remote and underdeveloped provinces.
A tsunami warning was issued but it has since been lifted.
The first quake, with a magnitude of 6.4, struck at 0306 GMT off the coast of the island of Yapen, in Papua, which has a population of about 70,000.
It was followed 10 minutes later by the largest quake 18 miles (29km) beneath the ocean floor off the northern coast of Papua province, the US Geological Survey said on its website.
Two people died on Yapen when their homes collapsed.
National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Priyadi Kardono told the Reuters news agency that the dead were a 47-year-old woman and a five-month old baby.
