Jakarta rocked

JAKARTA: A powerful undersea earthquake shook Indonesia’s capital early on Thursday, violently shaking homes and tall buildings and sending residents fleeing into the streets, the U.S. Geological Survey and witnesses said. There were no immediate reports of damage.

The temblor had a magnitude of 7.5 and was centred 110 km east of Jakarta.

Because of the earthquake’s depth, there was little risk of a tsunami, said Robert Cessaro, a geophysicist at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii. — AP
