The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.5 and was located 109 kilometres northwest of the village of Kampungbajo in central Indonesia at a depth of 539 kilometres.

Lombok, an island east of Bali, was struck by a 7.0 magnitude natural disaster on August 5 and the death toll has climbed to over 460.
