JAKARTA (Reuters) – A powerful earthquake rattled Indonesia's main island on Wednesday, seismology agencies said, shaking buildings in the capital and damaging others closer to the epicenter.
There were reports of damage in Tasikmalaya near the epicenter of the quake in West Java, and in nearby Bandung, a major city that is home to several universities.
Local tsunami warnings were issued for coastal areas within several hundred kilometers of the quake's epicenter soon after it struck, but were withdrawn about half an hour later.
The U.S. Geological Survey initially recorded the quake with a magnitude of 7.4, later lowering it to 7.0, and said it was a relatively deep 49.5 km (31 miles) below the Earth's surface.
Indonesia's seismology agency put the magnitude at 7.3 with the epicenter 142 km (88 miles) southwest of Tasikmalaya in West Java.
The Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no threat of a widespread tsunami.
Residents in the capital Jakarta reported buildings shaking, and hundreds of people streamed from office blocks.
"The building first shook for about 10 seconds then stopped but then it continued again," said a Reuters witness.
Another witness in Tasikmalaya said several houses collapsed, including the mayor's residence, and a mosque was damaged.
Other buildings were damaged in Bandung, witnesses said.
"We were all studying and the building we were in started shaking for a few minutes and the ceiling fell," said a man identifying himself as Evan.
Indonesian power firm PLN said there were no disruptions to its service from the quake, while state oil and gas firm Pertamina said its 125,000 barrels per day (bpd) Balongan refinery in West Java and 348,000 bpd Cilacap refinery in Central Java were unaffected.
