Jakarta: Indonesia was shaken up by yet another earthquake, this time measuring 6.1 on Richter scale at a depth of 118 km.
The island of West Java felt the tremor on Saturday, as people rushed out of buildings.
The country’s geophysics agency BMKG was felt in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, around 200 km from the epicentre, reported Reuters.
However, BMKG assured that the quake didn’t have any tsunami potential.
