Powerful Quakes Kills 4 In Indonesia
1st Quake Followed By 10 Aftershocks, 7.3 Trembler
The search continues for more possible victims after a series of powerful earthquakes in remote eastern Indonesia killed at least four people.
The quakes at dawn Sunday injured dozens of people, cut power lines and destroyed buildings.
One of the quakes, a 7.3-magnitude tremor, sent small tsunamis into Japan's southeastern coast, but there are no reports of damage there.
A hospital nurse said several stories of the Mutiara Hotel in the main city Manokwari collapsed.
Papua's police chief said he received reports that a hotel and rice warehouse had been "destroyed."
The U.S. Geological Survey said the first 7.6-magnitude quake struck at 4:43 a.m. local time on land at a depth of 22 miles. It was followed by 10 aftershocks and the 7.3 trembler.
