Alerts were issued for many Indian Ocean nations after the 7.9 quake, though Indonesia's has now been lifted.
There are reports of buildings collapsing in towns on the west coast of the island of Sumatra, but it is not yet clear whether there are casualties.
A massive undersea earthquake sparked a tsunami that killed more than 130,000 people in Indonesia in December 2004.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre issued an alert for the entire Indian Ocean region following the latest quake.

Deadly earthquakes
Besides Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and a number of small islands were put on alert.
There were unconfirmed reports of a small tsunami - estimated at 1-3m (3-10ft) hitting the Sumatran coast - but not causing major damage.
However, about two hours after the quake, Indonesia's meteorology agency said the danger of a serious tsunami had passed.
Warnings remained in place in other countries.
Wednesday's earthquake struck at 1810 (1110 GMT), about 15km (nine miles) under the sea, some 100km (60 miles) south-west of the city of Bengkulu, the US Geological Survey said.
Local media said buildings in Padang, the capital of the province of West Sumatra, and in the town of Mukomuko, had collapsed.
"I saw some parts of houses crumbled to the ground but not huge damage. People ran out of their homes," Ayu Claudia, a resident of Bengkulu, told the AFP news agency before the phone went dead.
Officials said it was very difficult to get clear communications with the area to make damage assessments.
They are sending disaster teams from the capital Jakarta, fearing that there may be significant casualties, says the BBC's Lucy Williamson in Jakarta.
There were also reports of inhabitants fleeing swaying buildings in the capital Jakarta and in Singapore.
