Second Lombok earthquake in a week leaves more than 90 dead
Just a week after an earthquake rattled northern Lombok, a second more powerful one has struck killing more than 90 people.
The 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck exactly a week after 14 people died on the tourist island.
The latest one sparked an initial tsunami warning but was later withdrawn.
Its epicentre was about two kilometres southeast of Loloan, and was felt over a wide area including Bali.
It knocked out power across a wide area and there is damage to numerous buildings.
National disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho also said hundreds were left injured.
Bali airport also suffered minor damage but no flight operations were affected or at Lombok’s airport.
"Initial reports indicate damage to buildings in Lombok, the Gili Islands and Bali. If you’re in the area, you should monitor local media, exercise caution and follow the advice of the local authorities," the UK Foreign Office said.
