Almost two weeks after the strong earthquake that killed more than 330 people, the Indonesian island of Java was again rocked by an earthquake on Saturday. The center of the magnitude 5.7 earthquake was 11 miles southeast of the city of Banjar in West Java province, the United States Earthquake Monitoring Station (USGS) said Saturday.
There were initially no reports of casualties or major damage. The Indonesian weather agency spoke of an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.4. The quakes were also felt in Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta.
