A 5.7-magnitude earthquake has hit Indonesia’s main island of Java, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said, shaking the same town devastated by another quake last month that left more than 330 people dead.
The quake struck on land at a depth of 112km (70 miles) and the epicentre was located 18km south-east of city of Banjar, according to the USGS. There were no immediate reports of casualties or major damage.
The country’s meteorological agency gave a higher magnitude of 6.4 for the quake, which also shook buildings in Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta, according to an Agence France-Presse journalist.
