Strong earthquake jolts Indonesia's Papua province



Jakarta, May 30 (DPA) A 6.0-magnitude earthquake rocked the eastern Indonesian province of Papua Tuesday, but there were no reports of injuries or damage, a meteorological official said.

The temblor struck the Wamena district town in Jayawijaya regency and nearby areas at about 12:29 p.m. (0329 GMT), said Fadli Yusuf, an official at Jakarta's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency.

Fadli said the earthquake's epicentre was on land, about 147km southwest of Papua's capital of Jayapura, and took place around 33 km under the earth.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or structural damage from the quake, the latest in a series of strong temblors to jolt Indonesia in the past four days.

The quake triggered panic among residents in Wamena and Jayapura, the state-run Antara news agency reported.

On Saturday, a 6.2-magnitude earthquake flattened thousands of homes in the Javanese cultural town of Yogyakarta and nearby areas, killing more than 5,400 people and wounded thousands of others.
