EARTHQUAKE STRIKES OFF INDONESIA`S BALI COAST
Baku, 19 September (AZERTAC). An earthquake off the Indonesian holiday island of Bali has sent people running from their homes in panic.
At least seven people have been injured - some were hurt jumping from buildings while others had been hit by falling debris, an official said.
The quake - measuring 5.8 according to the US Geological Survey - struck at dawn 75km south of Denpasar.
No tsunami warning was issued and there were few reports of serious material damage, local officials said.
Two weeks ago, an earthquake on the main Indonesian island of Java left at least 50 dead.
Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, one of the most active areas for earthquakes and volcanic activity in the world.
