7.0 Magnitude Earthquake Rocks Indonesia's Java Island

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook parts of Indonesia's main island of Java and tourist island of Bali, causing panic but no immediate reports of serious damage or casualties. The earthquake was centered 96.5 kilometers north of Tuban, a coastal city in East Java province, at a depth of 594 kilometers. Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysical Agency warned of possible aftershocks but said there was no danger of a tsunami. The country is frequently struck by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis because of its location on the "Ring of Fire."
