Indonesia's Lombok jolted by second powerful earthquake in one day

Another strong earthquake has struck near the Indonesian tourist island of Lombok, following an earlier jolt on Sunday morning.

The US Geological Survey says the magnitude 6.9 quake struck Sunday night at a depth of 20 kilometers (12 miles).

There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.

Then morning earthquake, a magnitude 6.3 quake that struck the island, toppled and damaged buildings in Sembalun subdistrict, including a community hall that collapsed. It had sustained damage in earlier quakes, said National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho. Homes and a mosque were also damaged, he said.

A magnitude 7.0 quake on 5 August killed 460 people, damaged tens of thousands of homes and displaced several hundred thousand people on Lombok.

Mount Rinjani has been closed to visitors following a July earthquake that killed 16 people, triggered landslides and stranded hundreds of tourists on the mountain, an active volcano.
