The new earthquake possibly an aftershock from Monday’s 7.7 tremblor that triggered a tsunami on the southern shores of Indonesia’s Java island.

There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, but people in several areas fled from office buildings and homes.

Meanwhile the toll of quake-triggered tsunami in Java now has reached 550.
