Indonesia has lifted a tsunami warning issued after an undersea earthquake struck off West Java, a meteorological agency official said.
The agency said the epicentre of the quake, which it had put at 6.6 on the Richter scale, was about 125 kilometres north-west of Ujung Kulon in West Java at a depth of 20 kilometres.
The United States Geological survey later issued a bulletin that put the earthquake, which struck on Tuesday morning (local time), at a magnitude of 5.8 and at a depth of 43 kilometres.
