JAKARTA, June 4 (NNN-ANTARA) – An earthquake, with a magnitude of 5.7, struck off Indonesia’s Bali Island, in the central part of Indonesia Wednesday night (last night), the meteorology and geophysics agency said here.
The agency earlier reported the quake with a magnitude of 6.0, said an official, in charge of the agency.
“The quake did not potentially trigger a tsunami, because its centre is very deep,” the official said.
The quake rocked at 22:54 p.m. Jakarta time, the official said.
Indonesia has been frequently hit by earthquakes, as it lies on a vulnerable quake-impacted zone called “the Pacific Ring of Fire.”– NNN-ANTARA
