Indonesia earthquake: A moderately strong earthquake and two aftershocks hit Indonesia’s resort island of Bali on Tuesday.

The US Geological Survey said the magnitude 4.9 quake was centered 35 kilometers (22 miles) north of Amlapura, a city in Bali’s Karangasem district. Its shallow depth of 9.6 kilometers (6 miles) may have caused people to run outside, as reported by AFP.

Many residents and tourists rushed out of their homes and hotels toward higher ground, but the situation returned to normal after they received text messages saying the quake had no potential to trigger a tsunami, the report added.

As many as 331 people were killed and over 600 injured after a magnitude 5.6 earthquake hit West Java’s Cianjur city on Nov 21.
