The earthquake hit at 9:45 pm local time (1445 gmt), the us geological survey said, some 110 kilometers (68 miles) south of the city of Banjar in West Java, at a depth of 35 kilometers.
Indonesia sits on the pacific “Ring of Fire” where tectonic plates collide, causing frequent seismic and volcanic activity in the region.
A 6.9-magnitude quake that struck in the Banda Sea in December sparked panic but there were no reports of damage or casualties.
