    Java quake spawned tsunami warning lifted in Indonesia

    Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 27 August, 2008 : - - Jakarta -- 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 (77.67 miles) north west of Ujung Kulon in West Java at a depth of 20 km. The US 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.
