Article from: Agence France-Presse

A POWERFUL 6.6-magnitude earthquake has struck at sea off the Indonesian island of Java and a tsunami warning has been issued.

There were no immediate reports of damage from the quake which struck 125km northwest of Ujungkulon in West Java at 10.07am (12.07pm AEST), meteorological officials said.

It was recorded at the relatively shallow depth of 20km and had the potential to trigger a tsunami, Indonesian officials said.

The US Geological Survey put the magnitude of the quake at 5.8, saying it had struck at a depth of 43km.

Indonesia lifts tsunami warning after Java quake

JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia issued a tsunami warning on Tuesday after an earthquake struck off West Java on Tuesday, but it was later lifted and there were no reports of damage or casualties, officials said.

The country's meteorological agency said the epicentre of the undersea quake, which was put at 6.6 on the Richter scale, was about 125 km north west of Ujung Kulon in West Java at a depth of 20 km.

The U.S. Geological survey later issued a bulletin that put the earthquake at a magnitude of 5.8 and at a depth of 43 km.

The quake struck in the Sunda Strait that separates Java and Sumatra islands.

Wisnu Widjaja, director of disaster risk reduction at the National Coordinator Disaster, said the quake was felt quite strongly in Bandar Lampung in Sumatra, but there were no reports of damage.

Indonesia suffers frequent earthquakes lying in an area of intense seismic activity where several tectonic plates collide.
