JAKARTA (Reuters) – A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck the Indonesian region of West Java on Saturday, the country’s geophysical agency BMKG said, forcing people to flee buildings.

The agency said the jolt had no tsunami potential and was felt in the capital Jakarta, about 200 kilometers from the epicenter.

One person was injured and four houses were damaged in the city of Garut, said Abdul Muhari, spokesman for the Indonesian Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB).

Some residents of other cities in West Java said on social media that they felt a strong jolt. A Reuters witness in Bandung, the capital of West Java province, said hotel guests ran out of the building during the quake.

Last month, a shallow earthquake of magnitude 5.6 struck Chianjur in West Java, killing more than 300 people. BNPB chief Suharyanto told local news channel MetroTV that authorities were still checking other sites near the epicenter on Saturday.

“We hope that the impact is not as strong as in Chianjur, because this time the epicenter was quite deep,” he told MetroTV.
